The US President reportedly paused talks with Vladimir Zelensky and his Western European backers to talk directly to his Russian counterpart
Russian Presidential aide Yury Ushakov has confirmed details of a conversation President Vladimir Putin has held with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, who placed the call to Moscow after pausing a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky and his Western European backers.
Trump hosted Zelensky, along with the leaders of France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Finland, and the heads of NATO and the European Commission for talks in Washington on the Ukraine conflict, where he used his public comments to shrug off German and French requests that a ceasefire be agreed in the short term.
The US president was expected to insist on discussions of territorial exchanges, despite protestations from Zelensky, and wider security guarantees that meet Moscow and Kiev's needs.
