US President Donald Trump said Monday (August 11) he expects to have "constructive conversations" with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and expressed displeasure with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky for ruling out territorial concessions.The US president has spent the first months of his second term in office trying to broker peace in Ukraine -- after boasting he could end the conflict in 24 hours -- but multiple rounds of talks, phone calls and diplomatic visits have failed to yield a breakthrough.Trump and Putin will hold a summit in Alaska on Friday (August 15) in a bid halt the conflict, which was triggered by Moscow's February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine."I'm going to speak to Vladimir Putin and I'm going to be telling him 'you've got to end this war,'" Trump told a White House press conference, saying that he would "like to see a ceasefire very, very quickly.""I think we'll have constructive conversations," said the president, noting that he would seek out Putin's "parameters" for peace, then call Zelensky and other European leaders right after the meeting. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION4:32 ZELENSKY URGES INDIA’S MODI TO SUPPORT KYIV’S PEACE EFFORTS6:42 GERMANY PLANS TRUMP, ZELENSKY & EUROPEAN LEADERS TALKS
