Thu Jan 23 22:51:31 IST 2025: ## Trump Calls for Urgent Meeting with Putin to End Ukraine War
**Davos, Switzerland** – Former US President Donald Trump has called for an immediate meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Speaking via video link to the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday, Trump expressed deep concern over the significant loss of life, describing the conflict as “carnage.”
Trump stated his desire for a meeting with Putin is driven solely by the humanitarian crisis, emphasizing the millions of lives being lost. While he previously claimed he could broker a peace deal within his first day in office, his advisors now acknowledge that a resolution will likely take months.
Although Trump indicated that US efforts to secure a peace settlement are underway, he offered no specifics regarding these initiatives or a potential timeline for a meeting with Putin. The comments mark a renewed focus by Trump on the Ukraine conflict, following his return to the White House earlier this week.
