The President of the USA, Donald Trump, had a phone conversation on Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, announced by White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. She described the discussion as "positive," without providing further details. This is the second conversation between the two leaders in the last two days, the first taking place before Trump's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, mentioned that a new conversation is planned soon. The discussion took place in the context of Russia's accusations that Ukraine attempted to attack Putin's residence, to which Zelensky responded that these claims are "Russian lies" meant to justify further attacks on Ukraine.
