President Donald Trump says he and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to begin “negotiations” on ending the Ukraine war.

The Republican said in a social media post on Wednesday disclosing a call between the two leaders that they would “work together, very closely”.

The call followed a prisoner swap that resulted in Russia releasing American schoolteacher Marc Fogel, of Pennsylvania, after more than three years of detention.

Alexander Vinnik, a convicted Russian criminal, is being freed as part of a swap that saw Moscow's release of Fogel, two US officials confirmed on Wednesday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity.
