"We are on the right track" - Russian President talks about conversation with Trump
Vladimir Putin's telephone conversation with his American counterpart Donald Trump, which lasted more than two hours, has ended.
The Russian president told journalists about this, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The conversation was very meaningful – and very frank. And, in my opinion, very useful," the president said.
He also thanked Trump for his efforts to support the negotiations.
"Russia also advocates a peaceful resolution to the crisis. We must simply determine the most effective paths to peace. We have agreed with the US President that Russia will propose, and is ready to work with the Ukrainian side on a memorandum regarding a future peace treaty.
With the definition of a number of positions, such as, for example, the principles of settlement, the terms of a peace agreement, including a possible ceasefire for a certain period of time, if the relevant agreements are reached,” the president emphasized.
Vladimir Putin also noted that contacts in Istanbul have resumed, and this “gives reason to believe that we are, in general, on the right path.”
«The question is for the Russian and Ukrainian sides to show maximum desire for peace and find those compromisesthat would suit all parties.
At the same time, Russia’s position is generally clear; the main thing for us is to eliminate the root causes of this crisis,” he added.
