Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he held a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which they discussed recent developments related to the Ukrainian offensive on Russian territory and the Iranian nuclear program.
Trump stated that Putin informed him during the call that Russia would respond to the recent attacks on airports within its borders, emphasizing that Moscow views Ukraine’s escalation seriously and considers it a direct threat.
The former U.S. president described the conversation as “good,” but noted that it would “not lead to peace immediately,” highlighting the complex military and political dynamics of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The call also touched on Iran’s nuclear program. Trump said: “I discussed with Putin the fact that time is running out for Iran to make a decision on its nuclear weapons program. I made it clear that a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable,” adding, “I believe we are in agreement on this.”
The conversation comes amid escalating tensions in both Ukraine and the Middle East, as international diplomatic efforts intensify to prevent a broader crisis.
