'Kyiv Should Be Ours': Russians Boosted After Putin-Trump Call

  • On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump held a telephone conversation regarding the situation in Ukraine amid the ongoing spring phase of Moscow's military campaign.
  • The call came after last week’s talks in Istanbul, where Russian representatives insisted that Ukraine relinquish control over areas in the east and south and pushed for a ban on Ukraine joining NATO.
  • Moscow's offensive has killed tens of thousands, controls a fifth of Ukraine, and Russia rejects Western and Kyiv calls for an immediate ceasefire.
  • Russian analyst Konstantin Kalachev called the phone call a "tactical victory" for Putin who floated a vague peace memorandum, while Trump said talks would start swiftly.
  • Despite diplomatic progress boosting Russian confidence, Putin maintains maximalist demands for Kyiv's capitulation, signaling no sign of easing the conflict soon.
