The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, assured his American counterpart, Donald Trump, that Russia has no plans to attack Europe. This guarantee was conveyed during a telephone conversation between the two leaders, which already represents the 15th contact between Putin and Trump in the space of a year and a half.
The conversation took place at a time of high tension between Moscow and European capitals, with an escalation of Russian sabotage incidents attributed to various countries on the continent. The situation has been worsening in recent weeks, fueling fears of a possible direct confrontation between Russia and European countries.
This contact comes at a time when relations between NATO and Russia are at one of the most critical points since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. The communication between the two leaders comes as an effort to try to defuse the growing confrontation climate in Europe.
