American President Donald Trump detailed on Monday that he had “a very good telephone conversation” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom he discussed Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East, reports Reuters.
On the war in Ukraine, Trump said there was “immense hatred” between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and that while relations were strained, the conversation was positive.
“It looks like they can't get along, but I think it was a positive discussion on this,” Trump said at a news conference at his golf club in Florida.
At the same time, Trump added that Putin “wants to be helpful” in the Iran conflict.
“I said, 'You could be more helpful if you ended the war between Ukraine and Russia. That would be more helpful,'” Trump told reporters at a news conference at his golf club in Florida.
Earlier, a foreign policy adviser to Putin said on Monday that Putin proposed an idea for a “quick political and diplomatic end to the Iranian conflict.”
