Details: Ushakov said that the dialogue on a new phone call between Putin and Trump is ongoing until an agreement is reached. "The conversation is ongoing, about this phone call. So far, no agreements have been reached," Ushakov said.

Background:

• In early April, Politico claimed that a telephone conversation between the leaders of the United States and Russia could take place soon – perhaps even on Friday, 11 April. However, the conversation never took place.
• Recently, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the Trump administration expects Russia to be ready to end the war.
• Meanwhile, the media reported that senior Trump administration officials had begun to acknowledge that the United States might not be able to reach a peace agreement on Ukraine in the next few months due to additional conditions set by the Russian side during the negotiations.
