Details: When asked by a journalist whether his conversation with Putin had brought him any closer to reaching a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine, Trump replied that he "didn’t make any progress" with him.

Quote: "We had a call. It was a pretty long call. We talked about a lot of things, including Iran and we also talked about, as you know, the war with Ukraine, and I'm not happy about that. I didn’t make any progress with them today at all."

Background: 

• Putin said on 3 July that he was scheduled to hold a phone call with Trump. 
• Trump later confirmed the conversation, which was to take place at 10:00 US time (17:00 Kyiv time).
