Vladimir putin on trump request: Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Friday (March 14, 2025) that the safety of Ukrainian soldiers surrendering in the Kursk region will be ensured. The statement came immediately after the request of US President Donald Trump, who hoped to end the war.
In a statement given to the Russian Security Council, Putin appealed to Ukrainian officials to instruct their soldiers to lay off. He said that if Ukrainian soldiers surrender, Russia will ensure their safety.
Trump’s request to Putin
In fact, a meeting was held in Moscow on Thursday night (March 13, 2025) between Putin and Trump’s envoy Steve Witchoff. After this, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “I have strongly requested President Putin that Ukrainian soldiers will be spent. It would be a terrible massacre, as has not been seen since World War II. God blessed them all!”
Trump expected war end
Trump said that the possibility of ending the Ukraine war is increasing. Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are surrounded by the Russian army and are in a very weak position. He appealed to Putin to evacuate Ukrainian soldiers. Trump and Putin’s recent statements indicate possible peace talks in the Ukraine War.
Let us know that Russia has maintained an aggressive attitude on Ukraine till now. Ukraine continues to support military support from Western countries. If the soldiers who surrender are evacuated safely, this can be the first major step towards resolving conflict.
What can happen next?
The possibilities of diplomatic interaction between Russia and Ukraine may increase. Trump can further strengthen the role of its mediation. If the process of surrender is successful, the pressure for the ceasefire may increase. It will be interesting to see if Trump’s request and Putin’s guarantee will actually prove to be a concrete steps towards the end of war.
