Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Donald Trump in a telephone conversation that Moscow would have to respond to the recent Ukrainian drone attacks, the United States president said, as diplomatic overtures and momentum to reach a ceasefire have been overtaken by heavy aerial exchanges in the more than three-year war.
Trump said on Wednesday that the two men “discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides.”
