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.

What's Trump going to do, escalate this conflict more than it already is?
Did you really think President Trump was going to throw Putin a victory parade?
“...sizable military presence in Europe...”
Yes, thanks to the Quisling Puppet Biden it’s a military made up of transsexuals, cross dressers, fat over weight weaklings and EuroTrash allies. This is not something to brag about. Maybe in a few years, when real American soldiers enlist, but not right now.
Putin is not impressed.
Don’t bet against President Trump.
Trump better advise the FBI that if they show up at Mar-a-Lago, it better be to drop of their resignations and that Melania’s underwear drawers are off limits from now on.
Anyway, what is the meaning of sizeable military presence in Europe? I find it doubtful that Trump is threating to directly attack Russian forces.
The Uke fans are going to be disappointed when Trump isn’t all in and a fellow combatant with Ukraine against Russia.
Nazi Ukraine tried to screw Trump. Now the gravy train ends.
Obviously, you've never seen my home page, you trolling little pile of dogsqueeze.
Tell your Elensky he'd better get out by the side of the road and start picking up returnable cans.
And tell him to make sure he has a plastic grocery bag to pick you up after he steps in you.
"Melania Trump posed nude in a photo spread for a French adult magazine in 1995, and now, more than two decades later, the revealing shots have resurfaced in the New York Post."So the REAL story -- pushed by an Australian media company -- is that this OLD STORY is made new, because some Russian station posted pictures which have been posted in 1995 and thereafter in France, in the US and even on Elon Musk's X (since the post has not been removed).Melania Trump's Nude Modeling Pictures Surface: ‘Nothing to Be Embarrassed About,’ Says Donald Trump Adviser US Magazine, 31 July 2016
From the NY Post, itself.
Melania Trump like you've never seen her before NY Post, 30 July 2016
And mentioned still by Twitter/X and as posted to Twitter by NY Post:
Today's cover: Melania Trump like you've never seen her before
See how the game works? Make old, when one thinks the public has forgotten, new again.
If Pelosi had run the scam, it would be called the "wrap up smear." Since "little mark" and some media in Australia are shrieking now, that photo spread in 1995 in France is now a Russian media scandal. Never mind about the NY Post and Twitter/X.....
Little mark is at work, stirring up Freepers with repetitious posts and comments.
Tell your Putin to apologize to Melania.
Glad to know you watched.
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.
And tell your Doc Jill to tell your Biden to quit filling his adult diaper while he's sitting in Trump's chair.
marcus had to go to his doctor the next day to get a strange orange rash checked out.
He'd been eating a bag of Cheetos the night before...
Unless we hear it from Trump it didn’t happen.
Explain what “ escalate” means? I would assume to not go with nukes, turn Kiev into rubble, or to not finally finish off the Ukies remaining power grid.
Vlad is taking a dozen villages a day, gaining more territory every single day. Is that what escalate means? If so, Vlad will not stop pushing back the Ukies on all the fronts.He is currently doing a good job of taking much territory before St Z has to negotiate. ( surrender).
