Trump: Call lasted approximately one and a half hours, resulting in a very positive conclusion for both countries
June 5, 2025 - In a significant development, former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that he had a lengthy phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, lasting approximately one and a half hours. According to Trump, the call was a positive exchange, though he emphasized that it did not immediately lead to peace.The phone call took place amidst heightened tensions, particularly following Ukraine’s successful drone attack on Russia’s long-range bomber fleet. The White House initially stated that Kyiv kept Trump in the dark about the attack, with his first comment on the matter coming via a post on his Truth Social account [1].
Trump described the conversation as a "good conversation" but noted that it was not expected to lead to immediate peace. He mentioned that Putin had expressed grievances and vowed to respond to the attack. Trump also suggested that Putin might be "helpful" in securing a nuclear deal with Iran, which he accused of "slowwalking" a decision on accepting U.S. terms.
The Kremlin portrayed the phone call as a "positive and quite productive" conversation, with both sides seeking ways to work together. Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s foreign affairs adviser, stated that it was useful for Trump to hear Russia’s assessments of the situation [1].
However, the Ukrainian government and some political analysts expressed concern over Trump’s response. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on Twitter that Putin’s comments about retaliation were concerning and that the world’s weak reaction to Putin’s threats could be seen as silent permission for new atrocities [1].
In a separate development, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is currently in Brussels for a meeting with NATO defense ministers. He is renewing his call for all NATO allies to spend 5% of their GDP on defense, something the United States has yet to do [2].
