US President Donald Trump confirmed that he spoke on Saturday with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, who says he called him to congratulate him on his birthday and talk about the conflict between Iran and Israel. The leader of the United States mentioned that the war in Ukraine was also addressed, but suggested that this will be the subject of wider discussions “next week”.
“President Putin called me this morning to wish me very friendly, but more importantly, let's talk about Iran, a country he knows very well. A lot of time has been spent about Russia/Ukraine, but that will be for next week. Israel-Iran should end, a context in which I explained, and his war should end, “Donald Trump said on Saturday in a Social Truth post.
About the conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, who turned 79 on Saturday, initially reported the Russian press, citing information transmitted by Kremlin.
“The dangerous escalation in the Middle East was, of course, in the center of exchange (of opinions, no),” said the Kremlin, quoted by the Russian press.
Iran attacked Israel on Friday night and Saturday morning, as a response to the attacks launched by the Israeli army on Thursday night through Friday. The Isral forces made new air blows against Iran targets on Saturday, and the two parties continued to address their threats. Both camps reported victims following military operations.
In Saturday's discussion, the presidents of the United States and Russia also spoke about the Ukraine war. According to the Kremlin, Putin informed Donald Trump about “the implementation of agreements at the meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian delegation in Istanbul, on June 2”.
The Russian leader told his American counterpart that Russia is ready to continue negotiations with Ukraine after June 22, while Trump “has reiterated its interest in rapid resolution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict,” added the Kremlin, quoted by The Moscow Times.
