President Donald Trump said on June 4 that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the Russia–Ukraine conflict during a phone call that lasted more than an hour.

“We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace.”
