Kremlin denies Trump-Putin Ukraine talks

The Kremlin has pushed back against President Donald Trump's recent claims of ongoing negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the Ukraine conflict. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia always discloses information about contacts between the two leaders and that his colleague, Yuri Ushakov, holds briefings to inform about any phone calls that take place. This denial directly contradicts Trump's earlier assertions that he was actively negotiating with Putin to end the war, highlighting a significant discrepancy in the public accounts from Washington and Moscow.
