President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are expected to speak on Tuesday as the United States pushes for a cease-fire in Ukraine. The call will be the first known conversation between the two leaders since Ukraine agreed to support a U.S.-backed monthlong cease-fire, as long as Russia does the same. While Trump has stated his desire to broker a truce as quickly as possible, Putin seems to be seeking more concessions. The call will include discussions about power plants and “dividing up” Ukrainian assets.
