On Wednesday, the Kremlin described the call of Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump as “positive” and “productive”. According to the advisor of Kremlin chief Yuri Ukova, he was preceded by a lower -level interview. According to the AFP and TASS report, TASR reports this.
The call lasted about an hour and 15 minutes and the leaders of the countries discussed the potential peace in Ukraine, the recent drone attacks of Ukraine on Russian air bases and the development of the situation in Iran. “It was a good conversation, but not an interview that would lead to an immediate peace (in Ukraine),” Trump said.
“At the end of the interview, both leaders described the exchange of views as positive and relatively productive. At the same time, they confirmed their wish to remain in constant contact,” he told journalists.
“Donald Trump also stressed that the US side was not informed in advance (about the Ukrainian strike on military aircraft),” the advisor said.
Ukraine attacked thousands of kilometers beyond the front line on Sunday as part of the “Web” operation through drones. According to the Ukrainian General Staff, 12 Russian aircraft, including strategic bombers, destroyed.
Negotiations on Iran
Ušakov claims that the phone was preceded by a lower -level interview. It was found that, given the “current situation after the terrorist attacks of the Kiev regime and the next round of (peaceful) negotiations in Istanbul, it would be appropriate to organize a call between leaders”, said the advisor according to TASS.
The White House chief said after the call that leaders were also talking about Iran, who is currently conducting nuclear negotiations with the US. “It is shortened to make Iran a decision on nuclear weapons, and it must make it quickly. I said to President Putin that Iran couldn’t have a nuclear weapon, and I believe we agreed,” Trump said.
According to US President Putin, he indicated that he would participate in negotiations with Iran and that he might “be helpful in their fast end”.
