US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a one-hour phone call on Thursday as the Russian leader laid down the law on how the war in Ukraine will progress. According to Reuters, Putin insisted that Russia "will achieve its goal of removing root issues that led to Ukraine conflict" and "will not step back from its goals."
In return, Trump appeared to distance the US from any future role in peace negotiations, with Russia taking the position "that Ukraine peace talks are between Moscow and Kyiv". The call comes after a top US defence official halted arms shipments to Ukraine that had been used to fend off Russian attacks.
