Putin Praises U.S. Peace Efforts in Call with Trump

“Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump that Russia did not have ‘aggressive plans’ against Europe and praised U.S. peacemaking efforts to end his war in Ukraine in a phone call on Tuesday, the Kremlin said,” the Financial Times reports.

“The call was the first time the presidents of Russia and the U.S. had spoken since western security officials began warning that Russia was stepping up its ‘hybrid war’ against Europe this summer.”
