Trump says Putin, in phone call, vowed Russian response to Ukraine airfield attack, casts doubt on peace deal

  • On Wednesday, President Trump revealed that during a phone call, Vladimir Putin strongly asserted he would retaliate against Ukraine’s recent drone strikes on Russian airbases.
  • The drone strikes deep inside Russia, including damage to 41 Russian aircraft, escalated tensions and complicated ongoing peace talks in Istanbul.
  • During a 75-minute call, Trump and Putin discussed the attacks, Iran's nuclear program, and Putin characterized Ukraine's leadership as a terrorist organization.
  • Trump described the call as productive but made clear it would not result in an immediate peace agreement, while Putin warned that he must respond firmly.
  • The call underscores persistent risks of conflict and a lack of diplomatic progress, with Ukraine dismissing Russia's ceasefire offer as a demand rather than a genuine proposal, resulting in stalled peace negotiations.
