Trump says he’s having ‘lengthy’ phone call with Putin

President Donald Trump said that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin began a “lengthy” phone call Thursday morning.

The call comes a day before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with Trump at the White House, as Kyiv seeks more U.S. support in its war against Russia.

“I am speaking to President Putin now,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post at 11:21 a.m. ET.

“The conversation is ongoing, a lengthy one, and I will report the contents, as will President Putin, at its conclusion. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Trump this week said that he is considering sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine to ratchet up pressure on Russia to end the war.
