Russian President Vladimir Putin informed US President Donald Trump about the Ukrainian drone attack on his residence in the Novgorod region, Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov reported today.
White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt later reported on X Network that Trump "just had a positive phone call with President Putin on Ukraine." She did not provide further details about the content of the call. Trump also had a phone call with Putin yesterday, ahead of talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Florida on a peace plan for Ukraine.
According to Ushakov, Putin informed Trump about Ukraine's drone attack last night and said it was leading to a change in Russia's position on the peace agreement, the Guardian reports.
Putin told Trump that he still wanted to work with the US on a peace agreement, but that the attack had forced a revision of Russia's position, Ushakov reported.
DON'T MISS IT
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has already said that the report of the alleged attack is a "lie" and that Russia came up with the story to undermine US-Ukrainian work on an agreement to end the war in Ukraine.
As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov previously reported, Ukrainian armed forces attacked the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Novgorod region with 91 drones last night, and all the drones sent were destroyed, the TASS agency reported.
Lavrov said that Moscow will not leave Kiev's attack unanswered, and that the objectives and timing of Russian retaliation after the attack on the presidential residence have been determined. The Russian foreign minister stressed that this action was carried out by Kiev amid intensive negotiations on resolving the Ukrainian conflict.
Lavrov indicated that Russia's negotiating position would be reassessed given the Kiev regime's final shift to a policy of state terrorism.
US President Donald Trump, who is leading intensive peace talks with the Ukrainian and Russian sides to end the war in Ukraine, said yesterday that he had a very good phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, before his meeting in Florida with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump said yesterday that Russia and Ukraine are "very close to a deal."
