Just now, Donald Trump says he had a "lengthy and highly productive" phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, the US president says the pair discussed Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as AI.
They both agreed, Trump says, that "we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the War with Russia/Ukraine".
He explains the pair agreed to work together closely, including mutual visits to their respective nations.
"We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Volodymyr Zelensky, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now."
Trump adds that he has instructed a team, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to lead the negotiations.
