Interfax reported on March 18.
The Kremlin said the key condition for “avoiding further escalation” of the war and resolving it through diplomacy is a complete end to all foreign military assistance for Ukraine as well as intelligence sharing.
The call between Trump and Putin took place earlier the same day, lasting 90 minutes. According to CNN, a Russian source familiar with the conversation said the call went “very well.” Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were also present in the Oval Office.
