@echoesofcenturies1: Russian President Vladimir Putin told U.S. President Donald Trump that Moscow has no aggressive intentions toward Europe, according to the Kremlin, during a phone call focused on efforts to end the war in Ukraine. The conversation came after U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held talks in both Moscow and Kyiv as Washington pushes for a possible diplomatic breakthrough. Trump told Putin he wanted a rapid end to the conflict and a restoration of U.S.-Russia relations, according to the Kremlin. But the diplomatic discussions were followed by renewed fighting. Russia launched missile and drone strikes on Kyiv after a brief pause connected to the U.S. delegation’s visit, killing five people and injuring nearly 30, according to Ukrainian officials. Residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure were damaged. Ukraine has welcomed continued U.S. involvement in negotiations but says any agreement must produce concrete results and address the country’s security concerns. No major breakthrough has yet been announced, and the war remains largely deadlocked as both sides continue long-range attacks. The contrast between Putin’s message to Trump and the renewed strikes on Ukraine highlights the central challenge facing the latest peace effort: diplomatic talks are continuing while the fighting on the ground remains intense. #Putin #Trump #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar
