UK Defence Secretary John Healey believes that if reports of a phone conversation between Vladimir Putin and US Presidentelect Donald Trump are accurate, this could signal a positive development for Ukraine.
Source Sky News, citing John Healey, as reported by European Pravda Details Healey said that the TrumpPutin conversation would be a very good first step and an early sign that the incoming US administration may continue its support for Ukraine. He expressed hope that the newly elected American president will recognise that such support aligns with Americas interests.
Quote If countries like Russia are able to redraw international boundaries by force, that sends a signal that undermines the security of all nations. Background The Washington Post and Reuters reported that during the call, Trump advised the Russian leader against escalating the war in Ukraine and reminded him of the substantial US military presence in Europe.
The Kremlin denies that a conversation between Putin and Trump took place. However, on the previous day, Putins spokesperson Dmitry Peskov remarked that Russia perceived positive signals following Trumps election, particularly concerning Russias fullscale invasion of Ukraine.
