Moscow said the war in Ukraine was the main focus of the conversation ahead of the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara.
Yuri Ushakov, the Kremlin's foreign policy adviser, told Russia's RIA Novosti news agency that the two leaders discussed possible ways to resolve the war in Ukraine, including Trump's participation in the NATO summit in Türkiye.
