President Trump is planning to meet with Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia to negotiate the end of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Trump had a phone call with Putin and described it as highly productive, suggesting he would be willing to negotiate directly with the Ukrainian president. However, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth doubts a return to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders is realistic. The world is looking ahead to a meeting between Vice President Pence, Secretary of State Rubio, and President Zelensky in Munich. The video also discusses the exchange of American Mark Fogel, who was wrongfully detained in Russia, for convicted money launderer Alexander Vinnik. Vinnik, who has extradition requests from multiple countries, including the U.S., was arrested in Greece in 2017. The exchange has raised questions about what Russia gained from it. Overall, the negotiations surrounding the end of the war in Ukraine are complex and involve various geopolitical considerations.
