Trump instructed aides to arrange a phone call with Putin, - CNN.

Recently elected US President Donald Trump plans to have a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin a few days after his inauguration.

According to CNN, this information is disclosed by sources.

Sources also reported that Trump intends to discuss a personal meeting with Putin in the coming months, in order to end the war in Ukraine.

According to the publication, representatives of Trump's national security team have been working for several weeks on preparations for a phone call with the Russian president. However, detailed information about the date of the conversation is still unknown.

A direct conversation with Putin would mean a sharp break from the approach of Joe Biden, who has not communicated with the Kremlin chief for a long Time.

But Trump sees it differently. According to one of his aides, direct contact with Putin is exactly what is needed to find a solution that will bring the war to an end.

The publication also notes that it remains unclear whether Trump plans to continue the Biden administration's policy regarding the supply of weapons and intelligence for Ukraine.

It was previously reported that Trump's team is considering the possibility of ending the war in Ukraine according to a Chinese scenario.
