In a phone call lasting over 90 minutes, Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the war in Iran and the possibility of a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine. Putin expressed that he views a potential U.S. ground operation in Iran as dangerous, while welcoming Trump's decision to extend a ceasefire in the region. Trump stated that he prefers Putin's involvement in ending the Ukraine conflict, emphasizing that he believes a deal is close, despite the ongoing fighting. The war in Ukraine, now in its fifth year, has seen both sides suffering heavy casualties, with no breakthrough in sight. Military analysts indicate that Russian advances have slowed, and both armies are showing signs of exhaustion. Ukraine remains skeptical of ceasefire proposals from Moscow, accusing Russia of using such pauses to regroup for further attacks. The Kremlin has announced a scaled-back Victory Day parade due to security threats, marking the first time in nearly two decades that no military hardware will be displayed. Trump’s recent comments about Ukraine's military being defeated appeared to confuse the situation, as he has previously made similar statements regarding Iran.
