President Donald Trump on Friday told reporters that negotiations for dividing up the land between Russia and Ukraine was underway, which would be part of a final deal to end the war between the two countries.

The development comes as negotiations on an "energy and infrastructure ceasefire" is already being discussed. An energy and infrastructure ceasefire appears to refer to a cessation of attacks on those types of facilities. They are also discussing a maritime ceasefire that would presumably spell the end of Ukrainian strikes on the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

Trump did not outline when the ceasefire would take place, but indicated that it could come "pretty soon," per The Hill.

“They are fighting against each other,” the president told reporters in the White House. “I think we’re going to have ceasefire on a lot of areas and so far, that’s all held very well. In getting that ceasefire, they had a lot of guns pointing at each other. You had some soldiers unfortunately surrounded by other soldiers. 

"I believe we’re going to pretty soon have a full ceasefire, and then we’re going to have a contract, and the contract’s being negotiated, the contract in terms of dividing up the lands, etc., etc. It’s being negotiated as we speak," he added.

The news also comes after Trump suggested earlier this week that the U.S. take control of some of Ukraine's nuclear power plants to protect them from Russia. 

"American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure," National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.
