Blackmail or truce: surroundings refuses Trump from Putin's call - the media

To spread: The environment of US President Donald Trump strongly advises him to refrain from calling Vladimir Putin if he does not agree to a full ceasefire in Ukraine. About it reports NBC News. Two anonymous sources in the Trump administration stated that a telephone conversation between Trump and Putin is not planned. They noted that although the President may decide to call at any time, it is not recommended if Russia does not confirm the ceasefire.

The informants did not reveal how Trump himself responded to such a proposal. On March 30, he stated that he intended to contact the Kremlin head again to discuss the situation in Ukraine, and also noted the possibility of new sanctions on Russian oil. However, the US president also added that if Putin takes the right steps, his anger can cool down.

At the same time, Politico, citing its own sources in Europe, reported that the next telephone conversation between the Presidents of Russia and the US may take place before or after the next weekend. We will remind, earlier Focus learned why Vladimir Putin demands the establishment of a "temporary power" in Ukraine, and what the President of the United States can say.
