U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a lengthy phone call ahead of Trump\u2019s planned meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The call took place on Thursday and lasted nearly two and a half hours, marking their eighth conversation this year and the first in nearly two months. It came one day before Trump\u2019s scheduled White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss a potential U.S. decision on supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post<\/a> after the call, Trump described it as \u201cvery productive,\u201d saying Putin congratulated him and the United States on achieving \u201cthe Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East,\u201d which he said could help efforts to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump added that the two discussed postwar trade and agreed to hold a meeting between senior advisers next week, to be led by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with the location yet to be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin, according to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, initiated the call and reiterated that arming Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles would irreparably damage U.S.-Russia relations while failing to change the war\u2019s outcome, which Moscow maintains it is winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n confirmed that preparations are underway for a U.S.-Russia peace summit, writing on X that \u201cHungary is the island of peace.\u201d Trump said he and Putin agreed to hold their next meeting in Budapest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump added that he will meet with President Zelenskyy on Friday in the Oval Office to discuss his conversation with Putin \u201cand much more.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
