@coachstas: On September 8, 2026, the Kremlin said Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump spoke by phone for exactly one hour, days after Trump's envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, traveled to Moscow and Kyiv for weekend talks. Russian aide Yuri Ushakov described the exchange as constructive and candid, saying Putin used part of the call to assure Trump that Russia has no aggressive intentions toward Europe while briefing him on the state of the war. Moscow characterized the overall tone as positive. The White House, however, had not issued its own account of the conversation as reporting circulated, leaving the Kremlin's version as the only detailed record so far. Despite the diplomatic language, Russia's underlying position on Ukraine appears unchanged, and both militaries continue preparing for a prolonged winter of fighting. The call follows a familiar pattern between the two leaders, who have held similar conversations before without a clear shift in the trajectory of the war.
