Telefonat: Putin zu Trump: „Keine aggressiven Pläne“ gegen Europa
Seit Monaten versucht Washington Russland zu einem Ende des Ukraine-Krieges zu bewegen. Nach einer Reise von US-Vermittlern nach Moskau und Kiew telefonieren Trump und Putin.
Moscow. Following a trip by U.S. mediators to Kyiv and Moscow for talks on ending the war in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with U.S. President Donald Trump. According to Putin's foreign policy advisor, Yuri Ushakov, the Russian leader assured Trump that he had no "aggressive plans" towards Europe. Putin also provided Trump with an "objective and detailed analysis of the events on the battlefield," which detailed what the U.S. could realistically do to bring about "an early end to the hostilities."
Moscow had reportedly been in hopes of a complete restoration of relations between Russia and the U.S. in the event of an end to the Ukraine conflict. Discussions also covered further prisoner exchanges. The conversation, according to Ushakov, lasted about an hour. Since February 2022, Russia has been engaged in a war against its neighbor, Ukraine.
The U.S. has long sought to broker a peace settlement between the two warring parties. U.S. special envoys Steve Wittkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner traveled to Moscow and Kyiv last weekend for talks. Significant progress towards a peace solution has not been reported.
