The sixth conversation between the leaders went on for almost an hour
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump have engaged in their sixth phone conversation of the year. The talk on Thursday lasted for almost an hour.
Putin told Trump that Russia will not back down from its goal of eliminating the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine, presidential aide Yury Ushakov has announced.
The call also came shortly after Putin's first direct conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron in nearly three years.
Since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, he and Putin have held at least five phone calls. The discussions have focused on efforts to negotiate an end to the Ukraine conflict, arms control, and restoring bilateral ties, which sank to an all-time low during the administration of Joe Biden. The latest call took place on June 14 and revolved around Israel's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities as well as retaliation from Tehran.
