Trump Spoke To Putin After Drone Strikes Hit Russian Bombers

Key Points Summary โ€“ Trump Spoke To Putin

  • President Trump spoke with Putin for over an hour on Wednesday.
  • They discussed Ukraineโ€™s drone strikes on Russian air bases.
  • Putin warned he would retaliate against the attacks.
  • Trump said peace is not yet in reach, despite talks.
  • They also discussed Iran and a potential nuclear deal.
  • Putin offered to help resolve the Iran negotiations.
  • This was Trump and Putinโ€™s second call since May 19.

War Threat Grows After Ukraineโ€™s Surprise Strike

Ukraine hit deep. Drones smuggled into Russia detonated near military bombers, dealing one of the biggest blows yet to Putinโ€™s war machine. The Kremlin called it a provocation. The world braced for a violent response.

Then came the call. President Trump said he picked up the phone and dialed Vladimir Putin. The conversation, according to Trump, lasted around 75 minutes. The air was tense.

Trump revealed the details on Truth Social late Wednesday night.

โ€œGood Talk,โ€ But No Peace In Sight

Trump described the talk as โ€œgoodโ€ โ€” but warned it didnโ€™t bring peace. He quoted Putin saying a response to the airfield attack is inevitable. The Russian leader, Trump said, โ€œwas very strongโ€ in his language.

The war in Ukraine rages on. Russian troops remain dug in. Ukrainian forces continue their counterattacks. Trump has repeatedly claimed he could end the war quickly, but so far, his diplomatic outreach has fallen short.

Iran Enters The Equation

The call didnโ€™t stop with Ukraine. Trump said he also raised the issue of Iran. The U.S. is still seeking a nuclear deal. Iran has dragged its feet. Trump said Putin offered to help speed up the negotiations.

โ€œWe need a definitive answer,โ€ Trump wrote. โ€œIran canโ€™t stall forever.โ€

This marks a shift. Trump rarely included Russia in past Iran talks. Now, it seems, he sees Putin as a possible closer.

Public Reaction: Uneasy But Curious

The public had mixed feelings. Some praised the diplomacy. Others called it appeasement. Critics warned Trump was too cozy with an enemy.

โ€œHe talks tough one day, then calls Putin the next,โ€ one user posted on X. โ€œWhatโ€™s the real plan here?โ€

Supporters defended the move.

โ€œIf anyone can bring peace, itโ€™s Trump,โ€ a Truth Social commenter wrote. โ€œAt least heโ€™s trying.โ€

Biden Camp Stays Silent, Kremlin Confirms Call

The Biden administration has not commented on the call. White House officials said they were not notified in advance about Trumpโ€™s outreach.

Kremlin sources later confirmed the conversation took place. However, they offered no additional details about tone or next steps.

Russia continues to suffer economic losses and battlefield setbacks. But analysts say Putin remains firm on territorial demands.

Whatโ€™s Next? Fire or Freeze?

Trumpโ€™s post suggested more calls may follow. But with no ceasefire in sight and fresh threats from Moscow, peace remains a distant hope.

U.S. intelligence is watching closely. Officials fear another large-scale assault from either side.

For now, the world waits. Will Trump make a breakthrough โ€” or is this just more noise in a war with no end?โ€
