Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated President Donald Trump on his return to leadership before the inauguration on Monday, announcing that Russia was open to dialogue with President Trump’s administration.
President Putin said he hopes that further negotiations can finally eliminate “the root causes of the crisis” within the “Ukrainian conflict.”
After President Trump was sworn in, the Russian president said, “The goal should not be a temporary ceasefire, a short-term pause for regrouping forces and rearming to continue the conflict later, but a lasting peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all people and nations living in the region.“
President Trump has indicated that ending the fighting in Ukraine is a priority of his administration.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For discernment for President Trump as he prepares to implement foreign policy changes.
- For U.S. officials as they assess options for peace in Ukraine and how to ensure Russia does not feel threatened by NATO.
