Trump speaks with Putin, says ‘not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace’ with Ukraine

Diana Glebova / NEW YORK POST  

President Trump spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, acknowledging afterward that it was “not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace” between Russia and Ukraine.

“We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides,” Trump announced after the 75-minute talk with the Kremlin tyrant.

“President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.”

Ukraine launched a secret attack on Russia over the weekend by sneaking a truck full of drones across the border — before unleashing the aircraft to target 40 Russian strategic bombers in attacks that reached into Siberia and the Arctic. 

On Tuesday, Kyiv then bombed the Kerch bridge connecting Crimea with the Russian mainland, in another blow to Putin’s military prestige. Read more here.
