Donald Trump held a high level phone call with Putin

The President of the US Donald Trump held a high level phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin as tensions escalate in Ukraine.

The conversation, over 2 hours long comes just ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Washington to request US made Tomahawk cruise missiles, intended to extend Kyiv’s strike capability deep into Russian territory.

Trump emphasised that the US is seeking ways to pressure Moscow toward a negotiated settlement while avoiding further escalation.

Putin warned that supplying long range missiles could undermine peace efforts. The call sets the stage for a potential summit in Budapest within the next 2 weeks to explore solutions and reinforce ceasefire talks.

Ukraine’s conflict has entered its 4th year, with Russia intensifying attacks on energy infrastructure & Kyiv responding with strikes inside Russia.

Trump’s outreach, alongside European & NATO scrutiny, underscores the delicate balance between military support for Ukraine & diplomatic efforts to achieve a lasting ceasefire.

At the same time, Trump claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the US that India would stop buying Russian oil, a move aimed at further pressuring Moscow, though India has not officially confirmed this.
