According to a Kremlin statement, a recent call between Trump and Putin focused on Ukraine’s actions and their impact on negotiations.
Putin claimed Ukraine attacked his state residence and warned the act would not go unpunished.
Trump said he was shocked and angry, calling the situation “madness,” and expressed relief that Ukraine had not been given long-range U.S. missiles.
Both leaders signaled a shift in stance:
Russia would harden its negotiation position
The U.S. would reconsider its approach toward President Zelensky
Bottom line: The call suggests rising tensions and a possible change in diplomatic strategies on both sides.
