WASHINGTON.D.C. June 04 – Russian President Vladimir Putin warned he “will have to respond” to Ukraine’s unprecedented drone strikes on Russian airbases, according to U.S. President Donald Trump. The disclosure came after an hour-long phone call between the leaders on Wednesday \u2013 their first contact since Ukraine targeted nuclear-capable bomber bases deep inside Russia on June 1.<\/p>\n
“President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields,”<\/em>\u00a0Trump stated in a social media post. He cautioned that the conversation would not yield\u00a0“immediate peace”<\/em>\u00a0between the warring nations.<\/p>\n The Kremlin separately claimed Putin accused Kyiv of attempting to\u00a0“disrupt”<\/em>\u00a0negotiations and alleged Ukraine\u2019s government had\u00a0“essentially turned into a terrorist organisation,”<\/em>\u00a0according to Russia’s state-owned RIA Novosti. Both leaders reportedly discussed restoring bilateral cooperation, which the agency described as having\u00a0“enormous potential.”<\/em><\/p>\n Trump confirmed the two also addressed Iran, suggesting Putin offered assistance in nuclear talks. The White House declined to comment when approached.<\/p>\n Notably, the Kremlin asserted Trump denied prior U.S. knowledge of Ukraine\u2019s cross-border drone operation. The call follows Trump\u2019s ultimatum last week giving Putin a two-week deadline to demonstrate genuine engagement in peace efforts, threatening\u00a0“changes to how the U.S. is approaching this conflict.”<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WASHINGTON.D.C.
