U.S. President Donald Trump said he plans to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday about settling the conflict in Ukraine, U.S. media reported.

“We’re doing pretty well, I think, with Russia…I’ll be speaking to President Putin on Tuesday,” said Mr Trump.

He added, “A lot of work’s been done over the weekend.”

Mr Trump, who is working to finalise a 30-day ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine, said land and power plants will be part of his conversation with the Russian leader.

“I think we have a lot of it already discussed very much by both sides, Ukraine and Russia.

“We want to see if we can bring that war to an end. Maybe we can, maybe we can’t, but I think we have a very good chance,” he said.
