Putin-Trump call: US, Russian Presidents to talk about Ukraine between 6.30 pm and 8.30 pm IST today

Moscow: Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will hold a phone call between 1300 and 1500 GMT (6.30 pm and 8.30 pm IST) on Tuesday to talk about settling the Ukraine conflict and normalising relations between Russia and the United States, the Kremlin said.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there was already a "certain understanding" between the two leaders, based on a phone call they held on February 12 and on subsequent high-level contacts between the two countries.

"But there are also a large number of questions regarding the further normalisation of our bilateral relations, and a settlement on Ukraine. All of this will have to be discussed by the two presidents," Peskov told reporters.
