President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he spoke with Russian leader Vladimir Putin for well over an hour about Ukraine’s latest attack on Russian airplanes and nuclear talks with Iran.
Putin in that call vowed retaliation against Ukraine for the stunning surprise attack, which Kyiv said resulted in strikes on more than 40 Russian bombers, Trump said.
“It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The Kremlin later confirmed the call, which came as fighting continues more than three years after Russia invaded Ukraine.
“President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields,” the president added.
Trump’s post did not say if he discouraged Putin from taking that action during their 75-minute conversation.
