Moscow is ready to work toward ending the fighting in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday following a two-hour phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Putin said that Russia and Ukraine would need to find compromises to suit all parties.

Trump has struggled to end a war that began with Russia’s invasion in February 2022, and that makes these conversations a serious test of his reputation as a dealmaker after having claimed he would quickly settle the conflict once he was back in the White House, if not even before he took office.

Trump is hosting a dinner at the White House for the members of the performing arts center’s new board of directors.

Trump fired most of the previous board, appointed allies to replace them and had himself voted in as chairman.

He says the Kennedy Center has spent a lot of money and he doesn’t know what it was spent on, but said he’ll take “this revered institution” to “new heights.”
