The chat was the leaders’ second in a month and comes days after the U.S. paused deliveries of some defensive weapons to embattled Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told U.S. President Donald Trump in a phone call on Thursday that Moscow wants a negotiated end to the Ukraine war but will not step back from its original goals, a Kremlin aide said.

The U.S. president urged Russia’s leader to quickly end the war in Ukraine, according to a Kremlin briefing on the hourlong call.
