US President Donald Trump said he plans to speak by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 18 as he bids to bring about a cease-fire in the long war in Ukraine that has drained both sides of soldiers and resources.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shook up his military leadership, replacing the chief of the General Staff, while a top Russian official said Moscow will insist Ukraine not be allowed to join NATO and remain “neutral” in any peace deal – conditions Kyiv has long rejected.
