The Kremlin has dismissed a report by The Washington Post alleging that former U.S. President and current president-elect Donald Trump spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Thursday, urging him not to escalate the conflict in Ukraine.
The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Trump had reached out to Putin, cautioning him against actions that could intensify the ongoing tensions in Ukraine.
However, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that the report was “completely false information,” denying that any such call took place.
This claim comes amid heightened international scrutiny as global leaders closely monitor the conflict in Ukraine, with fears of potential escalations impacting diplomatic and geopolitical relations.
The alleged call, had it occurred, would have marked rare direct communication between Trump and Putin since Trump’s re-election bid.
