Regarding Iran, the Russian president shared ideas with his counterpart on the Iranian nuclear program – a key bottleneck in the US-Iran talks.

Putin, according to the Kremlin, also backed Trump's announcement to extend the ceasefire, which is reportedly under strain due to purportedly strong disagreement.

The pair also discussed Ukraine, where the Russian leader proposed a ceasefire tied to May's Victory Day commemorations – a day marking the end of World War II.

According to the Kremlin, Trump received the offer positively and also hinted that a potential deal in Ukraine is near.

Additionally, the ties between the two countries and possible economic and energy cooperation are also touched upon.
