Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are speaking right now, just one day before the Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelensky visits the White House again. This information has been published by the media Axios just before the official confirmation by the White House, and later it was Trump himself through Truth Social.
Thus, it is expected that the conversation will be directed to the conflict on Ukrainian soil and all this just a few hours before Zelensky goes to Washington to ask his American counterpart for more military aid to confront the conflict with Russia, which is now approaching four years.
All this occurs in the midst of a moment of maximum tension – even more so – compared to recent months, with constant attacks between Russia and Ukraine on their energy facilitiessomething that is not doing any good in Europe.
In this sense, in recent hours, the Kremlin has indicated that the US supply to Ukraine in the form of Tomahawk missiles would represent a “new escalation” in the conflict. “The Tomahawk theme appears all the time (…) “This would be a significant step towards a new level of escalation,” Dmitri Peskov, presidential spokesman, told the channel Izvestia.
Furthermore, tension and concern in Europe has skyrocketed following the numerous sightings of Russian drones over the airspace of several Central European countries. Thus, Trumo has assured that he is having “a long conversation” with his Russian counterpart.
“I’m talking to Putin right now. The conversation is ongoing, a long (conversation), and Putin and I will report on the contents when it is concluded,” the White House tenant declared through a brief message published on his profile on the Truth Social social network.
