"Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have concluded a phone call that lasted a little more than two hours, with the US president having described it as "very productive" even as his desire to end the war in Ukraine has so far eluded him. Trump said he would meet the Russian leader in Budapest, but did not say anything more than that. He mentioned a US-Russian high-level meeting would take place next week."
"The Ukrainian delegation in Washington did not know about plans for a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, sources told DW's US correspondent Misha Komadovsky. Trump announced the planned summit after a phone call with Putin earlier on Thursday. He said it was due to be held in Budapest, Hungary, but did not disclose the location."
