Russian President Vladimir Putin held a telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday, according to Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, reported Xinhua.
The two presidents discussed the potential agreement between the United States and Iran, the upcoming visit of U.S. presidential envoys to Moscow, and Kiev's strikes on civilian facilities in Russia, Ushakov said.
Trump stated that he was ready to exert influence on both European partners and Kiev to secure peace, including during engagements at the upcoming G7 Summit.
Ushakov said that both presidents agreed that Kiev's recent strikes targeting civilian infrastructure on Russian soil were hindering conflict settlement.
On Iranian issues, the two leaders exchanged views on the draft memorandum of understanding being negotiated between the U.S. and Iran.
Trump said the deal was nearly finalized, and he expected the outcomes of the talks to be unveiled as early as June 14. Putin welcomed the apparent progress toward containing a conflict that risked igniting turmoil across the wider region and beyond.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday he discussed ways to advance peace in the Ukraine crisis during a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, reported Xinhua.
"We discussed things that could help bring about peace now, and I informed the President about the latest developments on the battlefield and how our position has strengthened," Zelensky wrote in a post on X.
Zelensky said they agreed to continue their discussions during their planned meeting on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G7) summit, which is scheduled to take place from June 15 to 17 in the French town of Evian.
"We have some good ideas that could help advance peace and protect lives," he added.
