According to him, they discussed "Ukraine's attack on parked Russian aircraft, as well as various other attacks carried out by both sides."
It was a good conversation, but not one that will lead to immediate peace. Putin stated very strongly that he would be forced to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.
In addition, the politicians discussed Iran and the country's nuclear weapons.
I told President Putin that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, and on that point, I believe we agree. President Putin offered to engage in negotiations with Iran and perhaps help resolve this issue as soon as possible. I believe that Iran is delaying a decision on this very important issue, and we need a final answer very soon.
On June 1, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted a unique historic operation to destroy Russian strategic bombers that the enemy was using to strike Ukrainian territory.
White House press secretary Caroline Levitt, when asked about Donald Trump's reaction to the Ukrainian drone attack on Russia on Sunday, said: "The reaction is that this war has to end. This war has been brutal on both sides, and too many people have died in it. The President (Trump - ed.) wants this war to end at the negotiating table, and he has made that clear to both leaders both publicly and privately."
