The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has assured his counterpart from the United States, Donald Trump, who will respond to. This has been declared by the Republican by revealing that both have had a telephone conversation of an hour and a quarter in which the negotiations between Washington and Tehran have also addressed to put an end to the Iranian nuclear program. The talk between the two leaders has been “good”, but “it will not lead to immediate peace,” Trump written on his social network, Truth.
A few minutes after publishing the message, the president has deleted it from his network, for reasons that have not been explained, before rising again without any exchange.
“We approach the attack, by Ukraine, and also other attacks perpetrated by both parties,” said the US president. “President Putin said, in a very forceful way, that he will have to respond to the recent attacks against airfields,” Trump also said about the Ukraine operation of this past weekend.
The conversation between the two was the second in two weeks. Then, the call was aimed at relaunching the peace conversations between Moscow and kyiv, just four days after a possible event in Istanbul between Putin and Volodimir Zelenski ended in a fiasco: only intermediate level delegations met, Putin did not travel.
Before that conversation, the US president had threatened to impose additional sanctions on Russia if Putin did not take tangible steps towards peace. He did not fulfill that threat and did not mention possible punishments to Moscow. But Russia’s biggest air attack against Ukraine days later made Putin describe as “crazy.”
Last week, the American gave Kremlin a two -week period to approach a peace agreement, under threat of imposing sanctions.
About negotiations with Iran, that the White House says they are very close to giving definitive results, Trump explained: “I told President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and I think we agree there.”
According to its version, the Kremlin tenant has suggested to join those conversations. “Iran has been delaying its decision in this important matter, and we need a definitive answer in a very short time!” Trump added.
Moscow commented on the call through the International Affairs Advisor of Russian President Yuri Ushakov. The diplomat has eluded deepen the conversation about the attack on the Russian air bases.
“They discussed this issue, indeed. I have already said what I could.
The Kremlin and its propaganda elude to comment within Russia the destruction of part of its strategic aviation. The Russian government has now focused on last weekend in the regions of Briansk and Kursk, one of them from passengers and with at least seven fatalities. The Russian Research Committee accused Ukraine on Tuesday, three days later, of the alleged sabotage. The Russian agency claimed to have found explosives on the tracks. kyiv, which on Tuesday, is silent.
According to Ushakov, Ukrainian actions against civil infrastructure will not mean the end of Moscow conversations with kyiv. “This does not mean that negotiations cannot be carried out following adequate guidelines,” added the diplomat, which has branded the Ukrainian government as “a terrorist organization.”
Putin also referred to these events during a game by videoconference held with his government just before the conversation with Trump. The Russian president, however, has suggested during the meeting that will not dialogue with Ukraine on a high fire.
“kyiv’s elite has proceeded to organize terrorist acts while asking to suspend military actions for 30 or 60 days and a meeting at the highest level. What should we talk about? Who negotiates with terrorists?” Said Putin.
“Why should we give them a respite in military actions? For which West supplies Western weapons to your regime? To continue your forced mobilization and prepare other terrorist acts?” He emphasized.
Putin has also talked Wednesday with the new Pope, Leo XIV. The Russian leader, who constantly bombards the Ukrainian cities since his invasion began three years and four months ago, described the conversation to the country attacked as a terrorist state. “The kyiv regime is betting on the escalation of the conflict,” Putin said one day after killing several civilians in one more bombardment in the city of Sumy.
