Putin told his US counterpart Donald Trump in a phone call on February 12, 2025 that "peaceful negotiations" on ending the Ukraine conflict were possible, the Kremlin said. "President Putin ... agreed with Trump that a long-term settlement could be reached through peaceful negotiations," the Kremlin said in its readout of the call, which it said lasted almost one-and-a-half hours.
