Unlike previous claims. Both sides confirm.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump had a phone conversation on Wednesday, both Moscow and Washington have confirmed. The talk lasted for about an hour and a half, during which the two leaders discussed a broad range of issues, primarily the Ukraine conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. The phone call turned out to be “lengthy and highly productive,” Trump said in a post on his Truth social media platform. “We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, Energy, Artificial Intelligence, the power of the Dollar, and various other subjects,” the US president wrote.
Now, it is China's time, since Pete Hegseth made it patently clear today:
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that the war between Ukraine and Russia “must end,” that Kyiv joining NATO is unrealistic and that the US will no longer prioritize European and Ukrainian security as the Trump administration shifts its attention to securing the US’ own borders and deterring war with China.
Europe is a military and industrial impotent when it comes to highly advanced military and dual use technologies and Moscow simply observes this in amusement. Against the background of Tulsi getting her nomination confirmed, a lot of things are beginning to change. Buckle up and get a lot of popcorn.
