“It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace,” Donald Trump noted.
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
US President Donald Trump said he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin for over an hour following a Ukrainian drone attack on Russian bombers, as diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine remain stalled.
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Donald Trump said the call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. The two leaders discussed the Ukrainian drone strike on Russian airfields “and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides.”
“It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace,” Donald Trump wrote, adding that Vladimir Putin “very strongly” indicated Russia would respond to the airfield attacks.
Iran Features In Trump-Putin Call
The discussion covered ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran. Donald Trump said that Vladimir Putin offered to participate in the talks and “could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion.”
The US President wrote, “We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly.”
Criticising Iran for delaying the deal, Donald Trump said, “It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!”
Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks
Wednesday’s call was the second between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin since May 19, as the White House continues to advocate for a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. Despite recent direct contacts between Russian and Ukrainian officials, a ceasefire remains elusive.
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 after massing troops along the border, igniting a war that has now entered its third year.
