It was a “quite long” conversation, as the US president described it during a meeting with journalists. – I am disappointed with this phone. I don't think Putin wants to stop [w Ukrainie].
On Friday, the American leader plans to talk to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelnski to discuss further steps.
Donald Trump had already informed that the conversation with Putin did not bring any breakthrough in their efforts to end Russian aggression at Ukraine. The president also referred to the situation in the Middle East, indicating that within 24 hours Hamas' reaction may appear to the proposal to suspend weapons in conflict with Israel in the Gaza Strip.
In turn, the Kremlin presented a conversation in a completely different light. According to Yuri Uszakov, adviser to Vladimir Putin, Russia does not intend to withdraw from its goals in Ukraine. Putin was also to declare his readiness to continue negotiations, although he emphasized that the “basic causes of conflict” remains the main priority.
