Putin sagt, dass Trump Russland auf verheerende Ukraine -Drohnenangriffe reagieren muss

Russia “will have to respond” to Ukraine’s recent devastating drone attacks, [Vladimir Putin](https://inews.co.uk/news/taxe-reeves-could-raise-get-uk-battle-ready-3727662?ico=most_read_by_subscribers) has told [Donald Trump](https://www.google.com/search?q=inews+donald+trump&rlz=1C1GCEA_en&oq=inews+donald+trump&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggAEEUYOzIGCAAQRRg7MgkIARAAGAoYgAQyBggCEEUYQDIJCAMQABgKGIAEMgkIBBAAGAoYgAQyCQgFEAAYChiABDIJCAYQABgKGIAEMgkIBxAAGAoYgATSAQg2ODMwajBqNKgCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) during a phone call between the two leaders.

Posting on Truth Social after the conversation, the US President said: “We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace.

“President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.”

There was no suggestion Trump pushed back against Putin’s expressed need to retaliate.

In another phone conversation, which appears to have taken place within hours of his call with Trump, Putin spoke with Pope Leo, where the pontiff urged the Russian despot to “seek solutions to the conflict” in Ukraine, according to the Vatican.

The telephone calls follow a week in which Kyiv undertook some of its most [elaborate assaults](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/everyone-uk-must-prepare-for-missile-attacks-warns-top-general-3730408?ico=in-line_link) since Russia’s full-scale invasion three years ago.

On Sunday, more than 100 Ukrainian drones struck air bases deep inside Russia, targeting dozens of nuclear-capable long-range bombers, according to Ukraine. On Tuesday, it targeted the Kerch bridge linking occupied Crimea to the Russian mainland with an underwater attack.

Yeah! Time to send those tactical bombers to teach them a lesson!
