US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed Ukraine, Iran and other issues on Thursday in a "frank and constructive" phone call, the Kremlin said, in their sixth publicly disclosed talk since Trump returned to the White House.
On the war in Ukraine, Putin's foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said Trump emphasised his push for a quick halt to the fighting, and Putin voiced Moscow's readiness to pursue talks with Kyiv, noting the previous rounds in Turkey yielded humanitarian results.
