Details: Ushakov stated that Putin congratulated Donald Trump on the upcoming US Independence Day and remarked that "Russia played a significant role in the founding of the American state".
"Of course, the issue of Ukraine was discussed. Trump again raised the matter of ending the hostilities as soon as possible. Putin said that we are continuing to seek a political and negotiated resolution to the conflict," he added.
Ushakov noted that the conversation also touched on the situations in Syria, Iran and the broader Middle East.
He also said that a potential face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin was mentioned but added that "the idea is still floating in the air".
