The Russian leader told his U.S. counterpart that Russia was ready to continue negotiations with Ukraine after June 22, while Trump acknowledged this and “reiterated his interest in the swift resolution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict,” the Kremlin added.<\/p>\n
Putin also congratulated Trump on his birthday and both leaders mentioned the “brotherhood in arms” between Russia and the United States during World War II.<\/p>\n
The previous day, Putin held separate phone calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, during which he condemned Israel’s wave of strikes on Iran.<\/p>\n
Putin “stressed that Russia condemns Israel’s actions, which violate the UN Charter and law,” the Kremlin said in a statement about the calls.<\/p>\n
He also told Netanyahu of his “readiness to provide mediation services in order to prevent further escalation of tensions.”<\/p>\n
