Washington DC: US President Donald Trump held a telephonic conversation with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and discussed Ukraine’s attack on Russia’s docked airplanes and various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides.
Trump said that his conversation with Putin was “good” but “not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace.” He said that Putin “very strongly” said that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump stated, “I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.”
Trump said that he and Putin also spoke about Iran and noted that time is running out for Iran’s decision related to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly. He said that Putin suggested he would participate in talks with Iran and that he could help reach a rapid conclusion.
“We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
