Trump and Putin had a new phone conversation
updated
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin had a new conversation with US President Donald Trump, Russian propagandists reported, citing the tyrant's foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov.
According to him, the conversation between Putin and Trump lasted 50 minutes. The first topic mentioned in the report is the confrontation between Israel and Iran, but the Russian-Ukrainian war was also discussed.
In particular, during the call, the dictator informed the US president about the "implementation of the Istanbul agreements" reached on June 2. The only real result of this meeting was an agreement on the exchange of prisoners of war and the bodies of the dead, which began on June 9, after Russian provocations and informational interventions from Moscow, and continues to this day.
In a new conversation, Putin told Trump that Russia was supposedly "ready to continue negotiations with Ukraine." The dictator's aide noted that Moscow was ready to continue negotiations "as agreed, after June 22," and Trump, in turn, "took note of this information."
Putin congratulated Trump on his birthday and American Flag Day. Earlier, on June 12, Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulated the people of the aggressor country on Russia Day, which caused criticism in Ukraine, in particular from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Russia and the United States also discussed the new conflict between Israel and Iran – Trump and Putin "did not rule out" a return to negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program. Ushakov claims that Trump assessed the situation in the Middle East as "alarming."
UPDATED. Trump later stated that during a phone call he explained to Putin that Russia's war against Ukraine must end, as must the new conflict in the Middle East.
- The last conversation between Trump and Putin took place on June 4 and lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. During it, the dictator threatened that he would "be forced to respond" to Ukraine's operation to attack the aggressor country's airfields.
- It should be emphasized that in fact, Russia carried out the largest attack during the entire full-scale war half a day before the SSU special operation "Spider web".
- Trump's special envoy Kellogg explained that Putin uses an interpreter during conversations with Trump – and this "doubles the time" of the conversation.
