President Donald Trump said Saturday that he plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and NATO leaders in separate phone calls on Monday to try to arrange a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.

As Russia and Ukraine hold their first direct talks in years, Trump says there won't be a real breakthrough to end the war until he sits down with Putin.

Referring to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, Trump said the discussion will focus on "stopping the bloodbath."
