US President Donald Trump said he plans to speak with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, and discuss ending the war in Ukraine, after positive talks between US and Russian officials in Moscow, Reuters reports.

"I'll be speaking to President Putin on Tuesday. A lot of work's been done over the weekend," Trump told reporters on Air Force One during a late flight back to the Washington area from Florida. "We want to see if we can bring that war to an end. Maybe we can, maybe we can't, but I think we have a very good chance."

According to the US president, during the conversation he intends to raise as well the matter of control over territories and nuclear power plants.
