Trump makes shocking admission about Ukraine peace talks after call with Putin
• By EMILY GOODIN and KELLY LACOOn the call that lasted about one hour and 15 minutes, Trump disclosed they discussed the recent drone attacks by Ukraine on Russia's air bases.
Kyiv delivered a devastating blow to the Russian air force on Sunday and Putin is now plotting revenge.
'It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace,' admitted Trump.
The president also stated that Putin told him he plans to retaliate against Ukraine after the recent attacks.
'President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields,' Trump disclosed, without details about whether he pushed back on the Russian leader.
Trump has been vocal about wanting to end all fighting and bombing between the two nations immediately as the death toll continues to rise in the now years-long conflict.
'We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran's decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement.'
'President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slow-walking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!'
The Russian tyrant has stayed out of sight since the attacks on multiple air bases in Ukraine's audacious Operation Spiderweb - a top-secret mission some 18 months in the making, showing off Ukraine's capability to stagger the Russian invasion.
But an insider warned that Putin 'will hit back at Ukraine' while also 'avenging his underlings who allowed this humiliation to happen.'
Putin's revenge reportedly includes stockpiling a massive contingent of battle tanks and ammunition.
The call between the two leaders came the day after the White House announced Trump will attend the annual NATO meeting at the end of June.
The president will also travel to Canada in the next few weeks to attend the G7.
