In a phone call initiated by Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin and former US President Donald Trump engaged in a comprehensive discussion lasting over 90 minutes regarding the conflicts in Iran and Ukraine. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov reported that the call was characterized as 'frank and businesslike'. Putin commended Trump's decision to extend the ceasefire with Iran, viewing it as a necessary step towards stabilizing the region. He warned, however, of severe repercussions for Iran and the broader international community if military action were to be taken by the US and Israel. The leaders also addressed the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has persisted since Russia's invasion in 2022. Trump requested insights on the current military situation, and both leaders criticized the Ukrainian government's approach to prolonging the conflict. Putin expressed readiness to declare a ceasefire for the upcoming Victory Day celebrations on May 9, a proposal that Trump supported, recognizing the shared historical significance of the day.
