Ukraine’s leader has ask to speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the Russian troop build-up along the Russian-Ukrainian border and the rising tensions in eastern Ukraine
KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukraine's leader has asked for a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the Russian troop buildup across his country's border and the escalating tensions in eastern Ukraine, but the request has not been answered so far, his spokeswoman said Monday.
The concentration of Russian troops along the frontier comes amid a surge of cease-fire violations in eastern Ukraine, where Russia-baсked separatists and Ukrainian forces have been locked in a conflict since Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. More than 14,000 people have died in fighting in eastern Ukraine and efforts to negotiate a political settlement have stalled.
“The Kremlin, of course, has the request to talk to Vladimir Putin. We haven't received a response so far and very much hope that it's not a refusal of dialogue,” Iuliia Mendel, a spokeswoman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, told The Associated Press. The request was lodged on March 26, when four Ukrainian troops were killed in a mortar attack in the east, she added.

Biden's Strategy is working, Putin can't talk because he can't stop laughing.
Notice Ukrainians were talking all war and pushing the Russians out then the president of the Ukraine talked to Biden on the phone and after that they want to walk back the war talk and have a conversation with Putin. I can imagine after the call with Washington, where Biden pledged his support, the Ukrainian leader said something like “We are so screwed. Get Putin on the horn and call back the troops!”
“Notice Ukrainians were talking all war and pushing the Russians out”
Thought there were no Russian soldiers in Ukraine. Pukey said they aren’t.
The Little Green Men minus the Russian arm patches came from Mars?
Turn the water back on to Crimea and maybe he’ll return the call.
