A telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled for later today. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that preparations for the call are underway.
The Kremlin stated that talking points on key issues, particularly the Ukrainian settlement, would be prepared for the conversation. Trump previously told reporters he planned to focus on territorial and infrastructure issues in the context of the Ukrainian conflict.
The conversation between the heads of state will take place on the anniversary of Crimea's reunification with Russia, marked by the signing of a treaty on March 18, 2014, by the Russian president and leaders of Crimea and Sevastopol, tass.com reported.
The previous telephone conversation between Putin and Trump took place on February 12, which was the first official talk between the two countries’ leaders in three years. For an hour and a half, they discussed the Ukrainian issue, as well as the accumulated problems in relations between the two states. The Russian and US presidents then agreed to continue contacts, including the organization of face-to-face meetings.
