The winner of the US presidential election, Donald Trump, may attempt to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war against Ukraine. However, such an agreement would likely not be in the best interests of Europe or Ukraine,

As Donald Trump's election win brings the prospect of talks to end Russia's war in Ukraine closer, Kyiv is battling to put itself in the strongest position for any negotiations, including by securing more arms and holding out on the battlefield.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump spoke on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday and discussed the war in Ukraine, the Washington Post reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.

President-elect Donald Trump is said to have called Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, according to an exclusive report in the Washington Post. NBC News' Matt Bodner has the details on Early Today.
