Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump discussed the Iran war and Ukraine conflict during a “frank and constructive” telephone call today, the Kremlin says.
Trump said he had an upbeat conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on ending the four-year-old war in Ukraine.
“We were talking about Ukraine, which is just a never-ending fight,” he told reporters. “But I think it was a positive call on that subject.”
Putin and Trump held a one-hour call in their first talks since December and Washington sought the discussion, Putin’s diplomatic advisor Yuri Ushakov is quoted as saying by Russian news agencies.
“The accent was placed on the situation surrounding the conflict with Iran and the bilateral negotiations underway with the representatives of the United States on settling the Ukrainian question,” Ushakov says. (AFP)
