The Kremlin announced today, Saturday, that Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart, Donald Trump, held a phone call that lasted about an hour and 25 minutes, during which the war in Ukraine was discussed, ahead of a NATO summit in Ankara.
Russian Presidential Assistant for Foreign Affairs Yuri Ushakov said that during the call, Putin gave a detailed presentation on the course of the war in Ukraine, noting that the US President offered to help end the conflict during the NATO summit in Turkey.
The advisor also said that US envoy Steve Witkoff and US President’s son-in-law Jared Kushner have expressed willingness to visit Moscow.
Meanwhile, an informed source reported that Witkopf and Kushner may arrive in Russia before the end of August, but there are no specific dates. The source told TASS: “Maybe until the end of the summer… but there are no dates.”
