Phone call: Putin to Trump: "No aggressive plans" against Europe
For months, Washington has been trying to persuade Russia to end the Ukraine war. After a trip by US mediators to Moscow and Kiev, Trump and Putin are talking on the phone.
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call after US mediators visited Kyiv and Moscow to discuss ending the Ukraine war. Putin assured Trump that Russia has no "aggressive plans" towards Europe and provided a detailed analysis of the situation on the battlefield. Putin also suggested ways the US can help end the fighting, and Trump reportedly offered to fully restore US-Russia relations if the Ukraine conflict ends. The conversation, which lasted about an hour, also touched on a possible prisoner exchange.
