United States President Donald Trump has said, after a more-than-two-hour call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, that Moscow and Kyiv "will immediately start negotiations" towards a ceasefire and an end to their war, now in its fourth bloody year.

Putin said that efforts to end the conflict seemed "on the right track" and that Moscow was ready to work with Ukraine on a memorandum about a future peace accord.

The Kremlin claimed Donald Trump was showing signs of "emotional overload" after he called Vladimir Putin "absolutely crazy" following Moscow's largest aerial assault on Ukraine.

The US president said on Truth Social on Sunday that "something has happened" to Putin, after Russia killed 13 in Ukraine with 367 drones and missiles. "He has gone absolutely crazy," Trump said. "Needlessly killing a lot of people."
