Putin of Russia are expected to speak on Tuesday as Washington pushes for a cease-fire in Ukraine. Mr. Trump <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/17\/world\/europe\/putin-trump-russia-ukraine.html\" title=\"\">said the topics would include<\/a> power plants and \u201cdividing up\u201d Ukrainian assets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The call will be the first known conversation between the two leaders since Ukraine agreed to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/us-ukraine-talks-rubio-saudi-arabia.html\" title=\"\">support a U.S.-backed monthlong cease-fire<\/a>, as long as Russia does the same. While Mr. Trump has stated his desire to broker a truce as quickly as possible, Mr. Putin <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/13\/world\/europe\/putin-ceasefire-ukraine-trump.html\" title=\"\">seems to be seeking<\/a> more concessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMany elements of a Final Agreement have been agreed to, but much remains,\u201d Mr. Trump wrote on Monday on Truth Social, his social media platform. He added that the war \u201cmust end NOW,\u201d and said he was looking forward to the call with Mr. Putin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-b25a6f8\">The cease-fire proposal on the table<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A week ago, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Michael Waltz, the U.S. national security adviser, sat down for talks in Saudi Arabia with a delegation led by Andriy Yermak, the Ukrainian president\u2019s chief of staff, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After more than eight hours of talks, the United States and Ukraine issued <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/joint-statement-on-the-united-states-ukraine-meeting-in-jeddah\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a joint statement<\/a> saying that Kyiv would support the Trump administration\u2019s proposal for a 30-day cease-fire with Russia, subject to Russia\u2019s approval. The United States said it would immediately resume providing military aid and intelligence to Ukraine, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/03\/us\/politics\/trump-ukraine-military-aid.html\" title=\"\">which the Trump administration had suspended<\/a> after <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/01\/us\/politics\/zelensky-showdown-trump.html\" title=\"\">an explosive U.S.-Ukraine meeting<\/a> at the White House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The United States and Ukraine also agreed to conclude \u201cas soon as possible\u201d a deal to develop Ukraine\u2019s critical mineral resources.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-217770aa\">Russia\u2019s stance<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Putin has not yet agreed to halt the war that Russia began more than three years ago. He has said the idea for a cease-fire was \u201cthe right one and we definitely support it,\u201d but laid out numerous conditions that could delay or derail any truce. That includes demands that Ukraine cease mobilizing new soldiers, training troops or importing weapons for the duration of any pause in fighting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Putin also said that Russia would continue to insist on a peace deal that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/us-ukraine-talks-rubio-saudi-arabia.html\" title=\"\">addressed the \u201coriginal causes\u201d of the wa<\/a>r \u2014 signaling that he will not stop fighting until he extracts a pledge that Ukraine will not join NATO and that the alliance will reduce its presence in Central and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere are questions that we need to discuss, and I think that we need to talk them through with our American colleagues and partners,\u201d he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/13\/world\/europe\/putin-ceasefire-ukraine-trump.html\" title=\"\">told a news conference on Thursday<\/a>, just before meeting with Steve Witkoff, who is Mr. Trump\u2019s special envoy to the Middle East but has also been playing a role in the peace talks over Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Sunday, Mr. Witkoff told CNN that his meeting with Mr. Putin had lasted three to four hours. While he declined to share the specifics of their conversation, he said it went well and that the two sides had \u201cnarrowed the differences between them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cease-fire proposal could create tension between Mr. Putin\u2019s desires for a far-reaching victory in Ukraine and for close ties with Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-690e6a96\">Conversation topics<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Kremlin\u2019s spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, declined to say what topics were on the agenda for the call.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump said on Sunday night that he expected to discuss territorial issues with Mr. Putin as well as the fate of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/17\/world\/europe\/putin-trump-russia-ukraine.html\" title=\"\">Ukrainian power plants<\/a>. He also noted that there had already been discussions about \u201cdividing up certain assets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe want to see if we can bring that war to an end,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cMaybe we can. Maybe we can\u2019t, but I think we have a very good chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump did not elaborate on what he meant by assets or power plants, but his comments came on the same day Mr. Witkoff mentioned a \u201cnuclear reactor\u201d in an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/steve-witkoff-middle-east-envoy-face-the-nation-transcript-03-16-2025\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">interview with CBS News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That appeared be a reference to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine, which Russia seized early in the war and still controls. The six-reactor plant is Europe\u2019s largest, and its proximity to frontline fighting has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/03\/10\/world\/europe\/zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-explainer.html\" title=\"\">long raised concerns<\/a> about the risk of a radiological disaster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was not immediately clear, though, whether any discussion about the power plant would focus on Russia giving it up \u2014 or finding a way to keep it under any truce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The power plant sits near the Dnipro River in Ukraine\u2019s southern Zaporizhzhia region, which Russia has officially annexed despite controlling only part of its territory. Surrendering it would mean ceding territory Russia considers its own. It would also give Kyiv\u2019s troops a foothold in a Russian-controlled area that has been relatively protected from Ukrainian attacks thanks to the natural barrier of the large Dnipro River.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the same time, energy experts say, the nuclear plant is in poor condition after three years of war and restoring full operations would require a lot of time and investment from Russia. That could mean Russia might see an incentive to try trading it in negotiations for something else, such as the easing of Western sanctions on the Russian economy, experts say.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-1a7310c\">State of the war<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.president.gov.ua\/en\/news\/pislya-peremovin-u-dzhiddi-j-poyavi-na-stoli-amerikanskoyi-p-96649\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">accused Mr. Putin of stalling<\/a> so that Russia\u2019s army can advance on the battlefield and strengthen his hand in cease-fire talks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Moscow\u2019s push to drive out Ukrainian troops <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/16\/world\/europe\/ukraine-kursk-retreat-russia.html\" title=\"\">from most of the Kursk region of Russia<\/a> in recent days has deprived Kyiv of an important bargaining chip in any potential negotiations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The moves in Kursk give Russia an opportunity to show Mr. Trump that it holds the momentum on the battlefield.

Military analysts, however, have been debating whether, after more than 15 months on the offensive, Russian brigades are exhausted or are regrouping for a renewed push.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-32ab646f\">Recent U.S.-Ukraine tensions<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since taking office, Mr. Trump has realigned American foreign policy seemingly in Russia\u2019s favor \u2014 including by echoing a Kremlin talking point that blamed Kyiv for starting the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That raised alarm in Ukraine about whether Mr. Trump would taper the flow of U.S. military assistance. Strain in the relationship burst into public view on Feb. 28, when Mr. Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated Mr. Zelensky in the Oval Office, saying he was not grateful enough for U.S. support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since then, Ukraine has sought to smooth over relations with the Trump administration, and Mr. Zelensky has repeatedly expressed gratitude for American assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5da58df6\">Concessions and guarantees<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Rubio has said that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/10\/us\/politics\/rubio-ukraine-russia.html\" title=\"\">Ukraine would have to make concessions over land<\/a> that Russia had taken since 2014 as part of any agreement to end the war. But he also said that it would be imperative in talks with Moscow to determine what Russia was willing to concede.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Before agreeing to the cease-fire proposal, Ukraine had insisted that any cease-fire include security guarantees, but there has been no indication since that any such guarantees would be provided before any interim cease-fire would take effect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">European allies have pledged further support to Kyiv.
