Trump: Putin warns of response after Ukraine's airport attacks in Russia

President Vladimir Putin has issued a strong warning that Russia will respond to the recent Ukrainian attacks on its air bases, following a lengthy phone conversation with former US President Donald Trump.

Trump revealed the details of the conversation in a post on the social media platform Truth Social. He said the call with Putin lasted about an hour and 15 minutes and focused primarily on the attacks on Russian airliners and air bases, as well as other military actions on both sides.

“It was a good conversation, but not one that will lead to immediate peace,” Trump wrote. He noted that President Putin “said, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airports.”

Beyond Ukraine, the two leaders also discussed the escalating tensions over Iran’s nuclear program. According to Trump, both he and Putin agreed that “Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.” Trump added that Putin offered to play a role in negotiations with Iran to help reach a swift resolution.
