Details: Ushakov said the call between Putin and Trump lasted exactly 55 minutes. Trump again called for an end to the hostilities in Ukraine and, according to Ushakov, said he is willing to influence Kyiv and the US's European partners.

"Putin told Trump that no attempts by Kyiv to strike civilian infrastructure in Russia will change the situation on the battlefield," TASS reported, citing Ushakov.

The Russian leader also confirmed to Trump that if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants a meeting, he should come to Moscow.

Putin and Trump also agreed that US representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel to Russia again in the near future.

The Russian ruler also said he "greatly appreciated the role of Melania Trump in reuniting Russian and Ukrainian children with their families".

Trump also apparently told Putin that he was the first foreign leader to call him on Sunday, on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
