Despite the invitation, neither Putin nor Trump attended the talks on Ukraine in Istanbul.
But during a phone call this afternoon, US President Donald Trump and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin discussed the situation in Ukraine. Putin described the third phone call with Trump as "contentious," "useful" and "very frank." The conversation lasted more than two hours, he said in the presence of representatives of Russian state media.
According to these statements, Putin called on Ukraine to find compromises "that suit all parties." According to him, his government is ready to work with Ukraine on a memorandum for future peace talks.
On his social platform Social Truth, Trump also expressed his satisfaction. Russia and Ukraine will immediately begin talks, which should lead to a ceasefire. Russia also wants expanded trade with the US after the end of the war. Germany, France, Italy and Finland have been informed about this call, Trump notes. (A2 Televizion)
