President Donald Trump and Russian chief Vladimir Putin talked by telephone on Thursday and have agreed that they will meet again – this time in Hungary – to discuss a resolution to the war in Ukraine.

Trump said the call was "a very productive one."

They already has met for talks in Alaska in August, but no solution to the war emerged.

The call was set up to precede a meeting at the White House on Friday in Ukrainian chief Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He has been demanding Trump provide Tomahawk missiles to him, for use against Russia.

They would allow his army to strike at targets far inside Russia.

"I have just concluded my telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, and it was a very productive one. President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East, something that, he said, has been dreamed of for centuries," Trump wrote on social media.

The call comes following Trump's visit to the Middle East this week. He celebrated there a ceasefire agreement he orchestrated between Israel and the terrorists of Hamas, who invaded Israel and killed some 1,200 civilians two years ago.

The last of the hostages Hamas took then, dead and living, are being returned.

Trump continued, "I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine. President Putin thanked the First Lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative, and said that this will continue. We also spent a great deal of time talking about Trade between Russia and the United States when the War with Ukraine is over. At the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there will be a meeting of our High Level Advisors, next week. The United States' initial meetings will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, together with various other people, to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this 'inglorious' War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end. President Zelenskyy and I will be meeting tomorrow, in the Oval Office, where we will discuss my conversation with President Putin, and much more. I believe great progress was made with today's telephone conversation."

Trump made a campaign issue of his commitment to resolve the conflict and end the massive killing spree that has occurred between Russia and Ukraine. His phone conversation was the next step in that effort.

In other efforts, he already has worked to bring about ceasefire steps in at least six or eight other military conflicts that had been ongoing.
