Putin and Trump to speak by phone in their 6th conversation this year
- The leaders of the United States and Russia arranged their sixth phone conversation for Thursday at 10 a.m. ET to talk about developments in Ukraine and matters concerning the Middle East.

- On Thursday, attacks by Russian forces resulted in the deaths of at least eight individuals in Ukraine, while Kyiv and its partners condemned Moscow for extending the conflict and emphasized the importance of ongoing U.S. military assistance.
- The conversation reflects attempts to mend U.S.-Russian ties strained to their lowest since the Cold War, but no shift in Moscow’s stance or breakthrough in ending the three-year conflict has occurred.
