After nearly two months, US President Trump and Russian President Putin had another call, which lasted for two and a half hours. It is estimated that Putin has once again made Trump happy, so Trump gave an endless evaluation of this two-hour phone call: "My talks with President Vladimir Putin were productive. President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the great peace achievements in the Middle East, saying that this is what everyone has long dreamed of for centuries. I am convinced that the success in the Middle East will help us end the negotiations for the Russia-Ukraine war." "We agreed to hold a meeting of senior representatives next week. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead this meeting. The location of the meeting has not been determined yet. At that time, my president and President Putin will meet at the agreed location - Budapest, Hungary, to work towards ending this shameful war."
After Trump spoke like this, the Russian stock market surged. The stock prices of almost all major Russian companies rose, including Tatarneft, AFK Sistema, Novatek, Gazprom, Norilsk Nickel, Severstal, VTB Bank, and Sberbank of the Russian Federation. The Moscow Exchange Index closed above 2600 points.
Russian presidential advisor Yuri Ushakov said that during the phone call with Trump, Putin raised the issue of the US possibly delivering weapons to Ukraine, especially the "Tomahawk" cruise missiles. "The Russian leader pointed out that these missiles will not change the battlefield situation, but will have a significant impact on US-Russia relations."
