WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — US President Donald Trump said he made no progress with Vladimir Putin on ending the Ukraine war in a call Thursday, as the Kremlin insisted the Russian president would stick to his aims in the conflict.
“It was a pretty long call, we talked about a lot of things including Iran, and we also talked about, as you know, the war with Ukraine. And I’m not happy about that,” Trump told reporters.
Asked if he had moved closer to a deal to end the war, Trump replied, “No, I didn’t make any progress with him at all.”
In Moscow, the Kremlin said the call lasted almost an hour and said that Putin had insisted he would not give up on Russia’s goals.
