The conversation has taken place amid heightened tensions between Moscow and Washington over possible US deliveries of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, on Thursday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has confirmed.<\/p>\n

Trump had taken to his Truth Social platform around 40 minutes prior to the Russian confirmation to announce that he was engaged in an “ongoing”<\/em> and “lengthy” <\/em>call with Putin.<\/p>\n

The discussion between the two leaders comes amid escalating tensions between Moscow and Washington over Trump’s suggestion that he could provide long-range Tomahawk missiles – capable of striking deep into Russia – to Ukraine, ahead of his planned meeting with Vladimir Zelensky on Friday.<\/p>\n

Moscow has condemned the potential move and warned that it would obliterate the diplomatic goodwill established between Russia and the US without changing the situation on the frontline.<\/p>\n

Supplying these weapons to Kiev would also force Moscow to take necessary retaliatory measures, Kremlin spokesman Peskov has said.<\/p>\n

The phone call marks the first contact between Putin and Trump since they met in person in Anchorage, Alaska in mid-August.<\/p>\n

Moscow has indicated that since the summit, there has been a noticeable winding down of communication with Washington. Nevertheless, Russian officials have stated that the Alaska process is “not finished”<\/em> and that the “spirit of Anchorage”<\/em> is still “alive.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
