Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin to discuss electrical plants and land in the Ukraine phone call

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are expected to make a phone call on Tuesday to discuss the conflict in Ukraine, with the president of the United States saying that there is a “good possibility” that the couple can make a way to finish the three -year war.

“We want to see if we can put an end to that war,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One

Trump is trying to win the support of Putin for a high -day fire proposal that Ukraine accepted last week.

Both parties made heavy air attacks together during the weekend.

Trump said the two “would talk about earth” and other things in the call.

“We will talk about the power plants … We are already talking about that, dividing certain assets.”

Trump did not elaborate, but he was probably referring to the installation of Zaporizhzia occupied by Russia in Ukraine, the largest nuclear plant in Europe.

Russia and Ukraine have accused of risking an accident in the plant with their actions.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Monday that Putin would talk to Trump on the phone, but refused to comment on Trump’s comments about land and energy plants.

Lithuania says Russia behind Ikea Fire

On Monday, Lithuanian prosecutors said that the Russian military intelligence agency, the Gru, was behind a fire attack in an Ikea store in the capital of the country, Vilnius.

The Ikea store caught fire in May 2024, but did not cause victims.

“We consider this act as an act of terrorism with serious consequences,” said prosecutor Arturas Urbelis.

“It has been established that through a series of intermediaries … the organizers of these crimes are in Russia and this is related to the military forces of intelligence and security.”

The prosecutors said that two Ukrainian citizens were suspected in the case of Ikea Arson, and one was detained in Lithuania and the other in Poland.

The Lithuanian authorities also alleged that one of the detainees had agreed to fire and fly shopping centers in Lithuania and Latvia for 10,000 euros ($ 17,165).

“More than one supermarket has fired, and not just supermarkets,” Urbelis said.

He added that the researchers had found links among the alleged perpetrators and intermediaries and similar criminal acts committed in Poland.

After the announcement, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote in X that the revelations were “good to know” before the negotiations began with Russia about the Ukraine War.

“The investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for facing the shopping centers in Vilna and Warsaw are the Russian secret services.”
