Trump and Putin Talked 'Peace' for 90 Minutes
While Americans were firing off Independence Day fireworks, Donald Trump was on a massive 90-minute call with Vladimir Putin, offering to personally solve the war in Ukraine.
The news comes straight from the Kremlin's aide, Yury Ushakov, so a healthy dose of skepticism is highly recommended. According to Moscow, Trump offered to help find a "deal" and even suggested sending his special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to Moscow for another round of talks.
Meanwhile, Putin reportedly spent his time lecturing Trump about how "confidently" the Russian army is advancing. The American side has kept completely silent about this marathon chat, leaving the Kremlin to spin the entire narrative. To make things even more crowded, Volodymyr Zelenskyy also called Trump the same day to wish him a happy Fourth of July, meaning Trump spent his holiday juggling calls from both sides of the front line.
It seems the ultimate plan to end the war in 24 hours now involves a massive group chat, two real estate developers as peace envoys, and a lot of long-distance phone bills.
