Russian President Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump in a telephone conversation on Wednesday that Moscow would have to respond to the recent attacks of Ukrainian drones, said the president of the United States.
Trump said the two men “discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also several other attacks that have taken place on both sides.”
Putin “said, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on aerodromes,” Trump said in a publication on social networks.
Trump said it was a good conversation, but not a conversation that leads to immediate peace. “
Moscow said before Wednesday that the military options were “on the table” for their response to Ukrainian attacks at the bottom of Russia and accused the west of being involved in them.
Russia also urged the United States and Great Britain to restrict kyiv after attacks, that Ukrainian officials have praised for demonstrating that kyiv can still defend themselves after more than three years of war.
British and American officials have said they had no prior knowledge of the weekend attacks against Russian nuclear long -range bombers.
In his publication on social networks, Trump said he and Putin also argued Iran. Putin suggested that he would participate in conversations aimed at reaching a new nuclear agreement with Tehran, Trump said.
“I told President Putin that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I think we agreed,” Trump said. He accused Iran of “walking slow” decisions regarding the conversations.
“It is my opinion that Iran has been slowly walking for its decision on this important matter, and we will need a definitive response in a very short period of time!”
The Republican has repeatedly alarmed kyiv and Western allies apparently on the Putin side about the war, and had a row of the Oval office with the Ukrainian visitor president Volodymyr Zelensky.
But Trump has also shown a growing frustration with Putin, since Russia has so far deranged the efforts of the president of the United States to honor a campaign promise to end war within 24 hours, even if he never explained how this could be achieved.
However, the call between Trump and Putin showed that Washington and Moscow may be with the cooperation of another key global problem: Iran.
Trump said he believed that both agreed “that Iran could not have a nuclear weapon, and that time was exhausted so that Tehran responds to the offers of an agreement.
“President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be useful to bring this to a rapid conclusion,” Trump said.
Putin told his Iranian counterpart Masoud Peeshkian that Moscow was ready to help advance the conversations about a nuclear agreement, Kremlin said Tuesday.
But Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatolá Ali Khamenei, said Wednesday that Washington’s proposal was against Tehran’s national interest, amid strong differences on whether Tehran can continue enriching Uranium.
