A: Hey Hana-chan! Did you hear anything crazy today?

B: Oh, hi Ken! Not really… what’s up?

A: Trump said he talked to Putin!

B: Seriously? About what?

A: Apparently, Trump asked Putin to not attack Kyiv and other places in Ukraine for a week.

B: Wow! A week? Why?

A: He said it’s super cold there right now – like, minus ten degrees! And power is still out because of the attacks.

B: Poor people! So, Putin agreed?

A: That’s the thing! Trump says Putin *said* he agreed, but Russia hasn't confirmed anything yet.

B: Hmm, that's a bit suspicious, isn't it?

A: Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, hopes it’s true, though! He’s saying it could help end the war.

B: I hope so! It’s hard to believe sometimes.

A: Me too! We'll have to see if Putin actually keeps his word.
