Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday evening at the latter's request, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said.
The conversation focused on the Iran conflict and the trilateral negotiations on a Ukraine settlement and lasted about one hour, Ushakov said.
Putin expressed a number of considerations aimed at the earliest political and diplomatic settlement of the Iran conflict, including taking stock of the contacts held with the leaders of the Persian Gulf countries, Iran's president, and the leaders of other countries.
The U.S. president provided his assessment of the evolving situation in the context of the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military operation.
Ushakov said Trump once again expressed his interest in seeing the conflict in Ukraine end with the earliest possible establishment of a ceasefire to achieve a long-term settlement.
