Trump-Putin's 2-Hour Call Had No Mention of Ukraine Aid? Trump Denies Putin Demanded Aid Freeze
Trump-Putin's 2-Hour Call Had No Mention of Ukraine Aid?
In a high-stakes two-hour phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the U.S. and Russian leaders discussed a range of issues, but Trump insists Ukraine aid was never brought up.
Despite the Kremlin later demanding an end to foreign military aid to Ukraine as a condition for a ceasefire, Trump told Fox News that Putin never personally raised the issue during their conversation.
The call, which took place on March 18, saw Putin agree to a 30-day pause on attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure but reject the broader U.S.-proposed ceasefire.
Trump described the discussion as "a great call", focusing instead on trade, U.S.-Russia relations, and rare earth minerals.
On April 17, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russia’s Sergey Lavrov held a critical phone call amid rising global anticipation for a resolution to the Ukraine conflict. Rubio, speaking from Paris, emphasized America’s peace framework shared with Ukraine, France, and European allies. Lavrov affirmed Russia's openness to diplomacy. With next week's major diplomatic meetings on the horizon, both sides agreed on the urgent need for continuous dialogue. The U.S. proposal is gaining traction in Europe, offering a glimmer of hope for lasting peace in Ukraine.

Putin publicly praised Hamas for what he called a “humanitarian act” after the release of Israeli-Russian captives. Speaking directly to freed hostages at the Kremlin, Putin thanked Hamas’ political wing, crediting long-standing Russian-Palestinian ties for the release. The remarks have sparked global outrage and are expected to anger Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump, both of whom have taken hardline stances against Hamas.
