Russia-Ukraine War / Russia denies Trump-Putin conversation, calls US media's claim false

Russia-Ukraine War: Recently, there were reports in the US media that there was a phone conversation between the newly elected US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which Trump appealed to Putin to stop the conflict in Ukraine. But now the Kremlin has rejected these reports and called it "false and imaginary". Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov clearly said that President Putin has no intention of talking to Trump on the phone and such reports in the media have no basis.

American media had claimed

Several American media outlets, including the Washington Post and Reuters, had claimed that a phone call took place between Trump and Putin on November 7. According to reports, in this call, Trump appealed to Putin to stop the conflict with Ukraine from escalating further. It was also said that Trump also discussed with Putin about the presence of US forces in Europe. But these reports have been rejected by the Kremlin. Peskov called it "completely false and imaginative" and said it was an example of how even reputable media outlets publish baseless news.

A step towards Trump's election promise?

During his election campaign, Trump had promised that he could end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours. On several occasions, Trump had praised Putin and also criticized the military and economic aid being given to Ukraine by the Biden administration. Therefore, the news of the conversation between Trump and Putin created a stir in international politics.

Talks were held with Zelensky

Earlier, Trump also spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky called Trump to congratulate him on winning the election, and the call was positive. During this time, Trump also made Zelensky talk to Elon Musk. Trump and Zelensky's conversation was also taken into account amid reports of talks with Putin.

Russia's response: Strategy or secret?

Russia's denial of the conversation between Trump and Putin may be a sign that Russia wants to remain silent about its strategy for some time. The denial of the conversation between Putin and Trump makes it clear that Russia will wait for Trump's foreign policy in the future, so that they can decide their strategy.

Russia and America's relations have been ups and downs many times. During Trump's campaign, while the talk of ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict attracted his supporters on the one hand, on the other hand there is curiosity about this subject in the international community as well. Now it remains to be seen how this promise of Trump takes shape in the future and how Russia reacts in this matter.
