MOSCOW (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin said they will speak by phone Thursday, their sixth publicly disclosed chat since Trump returned to the White House this year. Trump said in a social media post the call will take place at 10 a.m. EDT. Neither leader offered any immediate details on the topic.

The call between Trump and Putin comes just one day after Washington indirectly aided Putin’s war effort against Ukraine by suspending some shipments of air defense missiles, artillery shells and other weapons as part of what Pentagon officials have described as a pause of arms shipments globally while the U.S. replenishes its own stockpiles.

Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s heaviest bombardment yet of Ukraine only hours after leaving President Donald Trump “disappointed” by a phone call over the prospect of peace negotiations.

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have discussed Iran, Ukraine and other issues by phone, the Kremlin said. The call on Thursday was their sixth publicly disclosed chat since Mr Trump returned to the White House.
