President Trump said on social media on Wednesday that he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin about Ukraine's recent strikes on Russian aircraft and about nuclear talks with Iran.
"The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace," Trump wrote.
"President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields," Trump wrote.
Trump says "it was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace."
Trump said he and Putin also discussed Iran's nuclear programme.
"I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement," Trump wrote.
"President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!"
