Russian President Vladimir Putin refused to end his war in Ukraine again until Russia reaches his “goals”, despite another direct call between the Kremlin chef and President Donald Trump.
“Vladimir Putin, for his part, noted that we will continue to look for a political and negotiated solution for the conflict,” said the Russian diplomat Yuri Ushakov in an reading after the call.
“Our president also said that Russia will achieve the goals it has set: that is the elimination of the well -known main causes that led to the current state of affairs, to the current acute confrontation, and Russia will not go back from these goals,” he added.

In an attempt to justify his invasion, Putin repeatedly claimed that Ukraine was a threat because it seemed to be a NATO member and made it clear that he wants to overthrow President Volodymyr Zenskyy and want to overthrow the government in Kiev.
The call comes two days after the US said that it stopped some previously dedicated military weapons for Ukraine, and who were already in Poland, about worrying with regard to American stocks.

The reading of the call from the Kremlin has not detailed whether this step of the Trump administration was discussed.

Allegedly the couple also discussed the conflict in the middle, especially since it relates to Iran and recent American and Israeli strikes against the nuclear program of Tehran.
“The Russian side emphasized the importance of solving all disputes, disagreements and conflict situations that are exclusively on political and diplomatic means,” added the reading.
