US President Donald Trump expressed frustration over the ongoing Ukraine conflict, saying no progress was made during his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I didn’t make any progress with him at all,” Trump said after their nearly hour-long conversation. The Kremlin confirmed that Putin emphasized Russia’s willingness to seek a negotiated settlement, referencing humanitarian agreements from Istanbul talks. However, Putin also reiterated that Russia would not abandon its core objectives. The leaders also discussed Iran and Middle East tensions. This was the fourth Trump-Putin call in six weeks.
