Putin Tells Trump Moscow Does Not Have Aggressive Plans Towards Europe – Kremlin
The Kremlin said the 1-hour call with Trump focused on peace ideas as Russia denied hostile intentions and pressed its war aims in Ukraine.
- On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin told U.S. President Donald Trump that Russia has "no aggressive plans regarding Europe" during their 15th call in 18 months aimed at ending the Ukraine war.
- The call followed diplomatic visits by White House envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Moscow and Kyiv, who presented peace proposals that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called "very good, worthwhile ideas."
- Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said Ukraine needs 300 Patriot missiles, 500 air-to-air interceptors, and $2 billion for drones; the European Commission approved €3.2 billion for air defence components on Tuesday.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he hopes to meet Trump within two weeks and that Ukraine is "ready to find a compromise" on energy and grain exports following the U.S. peace proposals.
- Parliament member Anna Skorojod warned on Tuesday that peace conditions are "worse," as Moscow now demands territorial recognition and constitutional amendments from Kyiv—a significant hardening from earlier negotiation positions.
