Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have held a rare phone call, which the US leader described as “excellent,” but the Kremlin refused to agree to a ceasefire in the war with Ukraine, despite pressure from Washington and European allies.
Speaking to reporters in Sochi after the two-hour conversation on Monday, Putin described the call as “very meaningful and frank,” and said he was prepared to work with Ukraine on drafting a memorandum for future peace talks.
However, the Russian leader declined to support the US-proposed 30-day unconditional ceasefire, which Ukraine had already agreed to – and which Washington had framed as the call’s primary objective.
Trump: “Zelensky, you need us so that we can make sure Putin takes more land.”
Zelensky: “You’re right. I have such great respect for you, Mr. President.”
Tell that Putin puppet Trump that he’s a weak ass bitch Zelensky, else you look like one.
