Trump talked to Putin, told Russian leader not to escalate in Ukraine
Washington Post MSN ^ | 11/10/2024 | Ellen Nakashima, John Hudson, Josh Dawsey

President-elect Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, the first phone conversation between the two men since Trump won the election, said several people familiar with the matter.

During the call, which Trump took from his resort in Florida, he advised the Russian president not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him of Washington’s sizable military presence in Europe, said a person familiar with the call, who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.

The two men discussed the goal of peace on the European continent and Trump expressed an interest in follow-up conversations to discuss “the resolution of Ukraine’s war soon,” several of the people said.

The government of Ukraine has been informed of the Putin call and did not object to the conversation taking place, said two people familiar with the matter. Ukrainian officials have long understood that Trump would engage with Putin on a diplomatic solution for Ukraine, the people said.

Moscow initially responded coolly to Trump’s win, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov telling reporters that Putin had no plans to call the incoming president of “an unfriendly country that is directly and indirectly involved in a war against our state.”

But on Thursday, Putin publicly congratulated Trump on his victory, praising his “manly” response to the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, and said he was “ready” to speak with Trump.

Peskov did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I'm not seeing the point of the Gaslight Media fabulists Ellen Nakashima, John Hudson and Josh Dawsey of The Washingsnot Pest.

Tell your Biden to tell Jeff Bezos that his rag got flushed on Tuesday.

It’s too bad people can’t be trusted to keep their mouths shut. Unless Trump wanted this leaked, find out who leaked it and fire him/her.

Tell your Putin to apologize to Melania Trump.

Tell your Biden that the CIA knows that he's looking at the pictures of Melania in the Russian online rag, and that they recorded him saying that she's forty years too old for him.

And tell your Biden not to touch President Trump's Resolute Desk again until after he washes his hand.

“During the call, which Trump took from his resort in Florida”

I’d just like to note, I mentioned Trump should run the country from Mara Lago.

No bugs.

Tell your Harris to keep her nose out of the hot war in the Ukraine, or Her Daddy Vladdy might dump the videos of her “servicing” Downtown Willie Brown onto the Interwebs.

President Trump demanding an end to a war - is this the nazi or fascist thing the Left is worried about?
