Former U.S. President Donald Trump disclosed on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of a potential response to Ukrainian drone attacks targeting strategic Russian air bases. The revelation came via a post on Trump’s Truth Social account following a 75-minute phone call between the two leaders.
Trump stated that Putin 'very strongly' emphasized the need to address the June 1 strikes, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly directed. The attacks targeted docked Russian aircraft and other military infrastructure, escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict.
'It was a good conversation, but not one that will lead to immediate peace,' Trump wrote, underscoring the complexity of diplomatic efforts amid heightened hostilities. The discussion also touched on broader cross-border military actions by both sides.
The disclosure highlights growing concerns over regional stability and its implications for global security dynamics, particularly as Asian markets and diplomatic stakeholders monitor spillover effects on energy supplies and trade routes.
