Swift Ukraine peace could reset US–Russia ties, Kremlin says

A Kremlin readout via Tass says Trump told Putin that a rapid end to the Ukraine war could allow the United States and Russia to fully restore trade and economic ties, following discussions about U.S. envoys’ visits to Moscow and Kyiv to revive stalled talks. Russia has resumed air strikes on major Ukrainian cities amid Kyiv’s air-defense shortages, while Zelenskyy called for stronger international response to the latest attacks. The one-hour call was described by Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov as constructive, though the White House had no immediate comment.
