The president of the United States, Donald Trump, revealed on Wednesday that he maintained a phone call with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and that he warned him that he will respond to the recent Ukrainian attacks against Russia. They also addressed negotiations between the United States and Iran for a nuclear agreement and, according to Trump, Putin showed his predisposition to participate in those conversations.
“It was a good conversation, but not one that leads to immediate peace. President Putin said, very firmly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on airfields,” said the Republican president in a message on the Truth Social platform. According to Trump, the call lasted for an hour and fifteen minutes, in which the two leaders spoke “of the attack on Russian airplanes perpetrated by Ukraine, as well as other attacks that have been carrying out both parties.” Trump assured the Russian president that he had not been previously informed that these attacks were going to be produced.
A “positive” and “productive” conversation, according to Kremlin
“At the end of the conversation, the two leaders described the positive and quite productive conversation and confirmed their willingness to remain in permanent contact,” Yuri Ushakov, a diplomatic advisor to Putin told the press.
Ushakov accused Ukraine of “trying to derail these negotiations carrying out selective attacks against purely civil objectives”, in reference to the explosions that occurred in Russia in recent days that made three trains derail, leaving seven dead and 113 injured, to which Putin had already referred shortly before as “terrorist attacks.” However, Putin told Trump, said Ushakov, that Istanbul’s conversations had been “useful.”
Putin also held his first telephone conversation today with Pope Leo XIV, in which he accused Ukraine of causing an escalation in the conflict, according to Kremlin, “when performing subversive acts against civil infrastructure in Russian territory.” Source: news
