I had a call with US President Donald Trump—a very positive and productive one. I congratulated @POTUS on his success and the Middle East deal he was able to secure, which is an outstanding achievement.

For Moscow, providing kyiv with these missiles would open a new chapter in the conflict and would “ruin relations” between Russia and the United StatesIn the words of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin.
