Russian President Vladimir Putin has no plans to talk to US leader Donald Trump, the Russian government said on Sunday after US nuclear facilities in Iran, but added that a telephone call could be scheduled quickly, state news agency Tass said.
Russia and Iran, consolidate their narrow strategic alliance, although the agreement does not require the two countries to defend each other if one is attacked.
Meanwhile, Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping vehemently condemned Israel’s attacks on Iran, according to Kremlin and the China Foreign Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Although the statements did not mention the United States, Xi – in a little veiled message to Trump – emphasized that the “great powers” that have special influence on conflict parties should work to “calm the situation, not the other way around.”
During a press conference in Istanbul, Türkiye, on Sunday (22), he said he will travel to Moscow and should be to meet Putin on Monday (23).
