Russia's Kremlin says US President Trump and Russian President Putin spoke on the phone; conversation was open and constructive and lasted one hour.

Trump is focused on ending the war in Ukraine and discussed the outcome of the US envoy’s visits to Moscow and Kyiv with Putin. Ending the war would immediately create significant potential to restore US-Russia relations. Trump and Putin both rated the US envoy’s visit positively, with Trump seeking restored US-Russia ties during his presidency. Putin supports the idea of restoring US-Russia ties and that Russia has no hostile plans toward Europe.
