Trump made the announcement on social media after he said that the parties, including Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky, were close to a ceasefire deal that could resolve the three-and-a-half-year conflict, one that could require Ukraine to surrender significant territory.

“There’ll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both,” the president said.
He said he had held more than a dozen conversations with leaders of different countries and his team was in constant contact with the United States.
Earlier, Bloomberg News reported that US and Russian officials were working towards an agreement that would lock in Moscow’s occupation of territory seized during its military invasion.
Reuters was unable to confirm aspects of the Bloomberg report.
But accepting the loss of around a fifth of Ukraine’s territory would be painful and politically challenging for Zelensky and his government.
“The best the Ukrainians can do is remain firm in their objections and their conditions for a negotiated settlement, while demonstrating their gratitude for American support,” said Barker, a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council.
Trump had threatened to impose new sanctions and tariffs from Friday against Moscow and countries that buy its exports unless the Russian leader agreed to end the conflict.
