President Donald Trump spent 90 minutes on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on July 4, offering US assistance to broker a settlement to the Ukraine war. On the same day, Trump also spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, signaling a two-track diplomatic offensive days before the NATO summit set for July 7-8 in Turkey.
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were reportedly involved in the negotiations. The call also touched on issues related to Iran, broadening the scope of what was already a high-stakes conversation.
