Details of Trump-Putin talks
Media representatives asked the US president to clarify how many times he spoke with Putin. Donald Trump replied: "I'd rather keep quiet."
According to the American leader, the Russian dictator is "really concerned" about the killings on the battlefield.
He (Putin — ed.) wants people to stop dying. All these dead people. Young, young, beautiful people. They are like your children, two million of them — and for nothing. The war would never have started if I had been president.
