Trump, Putin hold hour-long phone call on Ukraine war; US seeks to revive stalled peace talks
Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov described the conversation as “constructive and quite candid”.
Russian President Vladimir Putin assured US President Donald Trump that Russia had no "aggressive plans" towards Europe, Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov told reporters on Tuesday. The call between the two leaders lasted about an hour, according to Ushakov. Putin also provided Trump with an "objective and detailed analysis of developments on the battlefield" and outlined actions the US president could realistically take to facilitate a swift end to the hostilities in Ukraine.
Trump, in turn, suggested the possibility of fully restoring relations between Russia and the United States if the war concludes, according to Ushakov's account. The two leaders also discussed the prospect of additional prisoner exchanges.
