In a Truth Social post following the conversation, Donald Trump claimed his chat with Vladimir Putin would probably not lead to the end of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
"We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides," the right-wing politician wrote. "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."

The update comes after Ukraine attacked Russia by taking a vehicle filled with drones into the region before launching it at 40 Russian strategic bombers.
Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov also confirmed Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke about the attack during their phone call, though he did not clarify whether or not the Russian politician would respond to the hit from Ukraine.

Despite Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin typically having a decent rapport, the former star of
The Apprentice recently criticized the former intelligence officer.
"I've always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it and maybe that's proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of
Russia!" Trump wrote on Truth Social on May 25. "I've always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!"

"The international recognition of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions as part of Russia is an imperative," Lavrov said in a statement.
