Media: Trump changed his tone during the call with Putin
According to Bloomberg, US President Donald Trump changed his tone during a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, taking a stance toward constructive dialogue, which may harm Kyiv's interests.
The report said, "Trump's tone was different on Thursday. After discussing with Putin, he seemed unwilling to deliver 'Tomahawk' cruise missiles to Kyiv."
The report indicated that Trump is preparing to give diplomacy another chance, seeking solutions before taking more radical measures against Moscow, although his efforts have not yielded results so far.
On Thursday, Trump had his eighth and longest call with Putin since the beginning of his second presidential term, lasting two and a half hours. According to Yuri Ushakov, a Russian presidential aide, the two leaders discussed the possibility of a new round of summit in Budapest and cooperation between the two countries.
The two leaders specifically emphasized the issue of the Ukraine crisis. Putin reiterated Russia's commitment to resolving the issue through diplomatic means and provided a detailed assessment of the current situation.
The call also touched on the issue of potentially providing "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine. Putin pointed out during the call that such weapons would not change the battlefield situation but would cause serious damage to US-Russia relations.
Trump repeatedly emphasized the need to achieve peace in Ukraine as soon as possible and stated that the end of the conflict would bring great opportunities for economic cooperation between Russia and the United States.
