“Historical” telephone diplomacy between Putin and Trump remains without much breakthrough

The transatlantic phone calls at the highest diplomatic level are currently booming. Before the telephone conversation between Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump took place on Tuesday, the British Premier Keir Starmer called its traditional allies in the White House on Monday evening. He had given the US President an update about the possible composition of a “coalition of the willing” for peacekeeping in Ukraine, it was said by a spokesman for Downing Street.
