Putin and Trump: Telephone call gives new impulse in the Ukraine conflict!

On June 4, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump led a significant phone call that was classified as "productive" on both sides. The Kremlin spokesman Juri Uschakow emphasized that this conversation was a positive exchange of views between the two heads of state. A central topic was the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, whereby Trump dealt with the Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian military base points and cleared that the United States had not been informed about these attacks in advance. In this sensitive mixture, both sides confirmed the desire to stay in constant contact in order to avoid escalation.

The phone call lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Trump expressed that there would be no “immediate peace” in the near future and was frustrated about the stagnant negotiations on the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. In the past, he had emphasized that he wanted to end the war within 24 hours, but the latest developments and the attitude of Moscow worried him. Putin described Ukraine's attacks as an escalation and makes it clear that he had to react to it. This led to a tense mood between the two guides, which occasionally showed personal tensions; Most recently, Trump had described Putin as "completely crazy".

conversations about Iran

In addition to the Ukraine conflict, the Iranian nuclear program was also on the agenda of the call. Trump made it clear that Iran should not have nuclear weapons, which was also supported by Putin. In this context, Putin expressed the willingness to take part in the negotiations on the nuclear program in order to quickly clarify the matter. This is particularly important because the United States had resumed talks about a new agreement with Iran in mid -April 2025, which have so far remained without result. Trump is pushing for a new agreement and threatens with a military approach if the talks fail.

The current discussions between Trump and Putin are another step in the efforts to defuse the existing conflicts and to find diplomatic solutions. It remains to be seen how the situation in Ukraine and the negotiations with Iran will develop. Experts agree that a constructive dialogue between the two nations is of crucial importance for solving these global political challenges.
