Donald Trump, who won the presidential election in the United States last week, has already urged his Russian counterpart not to escalate the war. So writes The Washington Post. But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denies that there was already contact between the two world leaders.
Trump and Putin called each other last Thursday, which inevitably included a discussion of Putin’s war on Ukraine. In the conversation, Trump also expressed interest in a follow-up call to discuss a āquick resolution of the war in Ukraine.ā At least that is what The Washington Post claims.
On Wednesday, Trump and Musk already spoke with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky. Ā In that conversation, the āpresident-electā said he will support Ukraine, without going into details.
However, Dmitri Peskov, spokesman for the Kremlin, denied The Washington Post’s reporting on Monday. According to him, there was no contact between Putin and Trump yet. āThat absolutely does not correspond to reality, it is pure fiction,ā the Russian news agency Interfax quoted Peskov as saying. āIt is simply false information.ā
