Putin complains to Trump, says he will respond to Ukrainian strikes on airfields

"I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes," Trump wrote.

According to him, they discussed "attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides."

"It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields," Trump stated.

In addition, the two leaders discussed Iran and its nuclear weapons program.

"I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, i believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perharps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and he will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time," the US president wrote.

Operation Spiderweb

On Sunday, June 1, Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) carried out a unique and historic operation to destroy Russian strategic bombers used to launch strikes on Ukrainian territory.

Initial media reports suggested that Ukraine had allegedly warned the US in advance about the planned attack on Russia's strategic aviation. However, that claim was later denied.

When asked about Donald Trump's reaction to Ukraine's drone strike on Russia, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said:

"The reaction is this war needs to come to an end. This war has been brutal from both sides, and too many people have died."

"The President wants this war to end at the negotiating table and he has made that clear to both leaders, both publicly and privately," Leavitt stated.
