Putin vows to retaliate to Ukraine drone attacks in call with Trump

"It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace."

The US President said he had just come off the phone with the Russian leader, and described their conversation as "good".

However, he said that he did not think they would achieve "immediate peace".

Trump said that during the call, which lasted one hour and 15 minutes, the pair discussed Ukraine's attack on Russia's docked airplanes, as well as other recent attacks by both sides.

"President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields," Trump said.

It comes after Ukraine's 'Operation Spiderweb' which saw Ukrainian drones attack four airbases deep inside Russian territory.

Trump and Putin also discussed Iran, and their talks on nuclear weapons.

“I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement," he wrote.

The phonecall marks the second time that Trump and Putin have spoken in the last two weeks.

The leaders last spoke on May 19, in a conversation which Trump said was "excellent".

However, Trump previously appeared to set a two-week deadline for Putin and said the US may change how they respond if Russia keeps "tapping" them.

He also dubbed Putin "absolutely crazy" and said he is "playing with fire".

Donald Trump's statement in full after Putin phonecall

I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.

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 slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!
