Trump Claims Phone Call With Putin About Ukraine War, Kremlin Remains Uncertain

The U.S. President's remarks raise questions as the Kremlin neither confirms nor denies the alleged conversation.

Donald Trump stated in an interview that he had spoken to Vladimir Putin about ending the Ukraine war, but did not specify when the call occurred.
The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitri Peskow, said he was unaware of such a call but acknowledged the possibility of other communication channels being used.
The White House has not issued an official statement regarding any conversation between Trump and Putin, contrary to standard protocol for such exchanges.
Trump reiterated his claim of having a 'good relationship' with Putin and suggested he has a plan to end the Ukraine war, though details remain vague.
Ukrainian officials express concern about potential U.S.-Russia negotiations that could pressure Ukraine into accepting compromises favoring Russia.
