The incoming US administration is seeking to arrange a face-to-face meeting with the Russian president to end the Ukraine conflict, the report says

Donald Trump's team is preparing a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which could come shortly after the president-elect's inauguration, CNN reported on Sunday, citing sources.

According to people familiar with the matter interviewed by the network, the primary aim of the call would be to discuss a face-to-face meeting in the coming months to explore ways to resolve the Ukraine conflict.

Officials within Trump's national security team reportedly began planning for the call several weeks ago, CNN reported, adding that it remains unclear whether a date for the conversation has been finalized. The network noted that the phone call would be a significant shift from President Joe Biden's approach, who has not spoken directly with Putin for nearly three years.
