Russian President Putin, US counterpart Trump discuss Iran and Ukraine in phone call

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the campaign against Ukraine will continue till all the objectives are achieved. Putin said this during a phone conversation with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, yesterday.

Briefing reporters after an hour-long phone conversation between the two presidents, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said Moscow will



continue to seek a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict but will not leave its root causes unaddressed. Putin declined Trump’s call for the earliest possible truce to end the almost four-and-a-half-year-long war. He, however, expressed readiness to achieve a negotiated solution through political dialogue with Kiev, Ushakov said.
