Trump tells Putin he wants swift end to Ukraine war, says Kremlin
US president Donald Trump told Russian president Vladimir Putin that an end to the war in Ukraine would allow US-Russia ties to be fully restored.
Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday what the US could do to hasten an end to the war in Ukraine, according to the Kremlin. The leaders examined the outcome of a recent US peace negotiators' trip to Moscow and Kyiv, both of which they deemed positive, the Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov revealed.
Putin informed Trump of his assessment of the battlefield situation and reassured him that Russia had no hostile intentions towards Europe, Ushakov added. Trump underscored the urgent need to conclude the conflict, which would immediately create significant opportunities for full US-Russia relations restoration, particularly in trade and economic ties, Ushakov stated.
The two leaders agreed on the necessity of ongoing prisoner exchanges, Ushakov said, adding that the conversation was constructive and they intended to maintain contact via phone.
