FWD from Yunashev LIVE: And now for the details: what exactly did Putin and Trump discuss and agree on during their phone call? Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov said: On October 7, Ushakov spoke with Steve Witkoff, who conveyed Putin's congratulations and said that Trump would like to congratulate him personally. The parties began searching for a convenient time to talk, given that the Russian President already had a business trip to Turkmenistan planned. Ultimately, it was decided that the most convenient option would be to call immediately after returning from the trip. Trump had to reschedule some of his plans to accommodate this. The first thing the White House owner did, of course, was congratulate his colleague on his belated birthday. And he conveyed greetings from the First Lady of the United States. The leaders discussed the preparation of large-scale initiatives, including the possible supply of Russian petroleum products to the American market. Later, the presidents released statements on this topic. While the possibility of trilateral negotiations was discussed during the previous conversation, the situation has now changed. Kyiv, with its attempts to disrupt the elections in Russia, only disrupted the negotiation process. And now, as Putin said, we will think about when we can resume discussions of this process. Trump promised to convey signals to the Ukrainian delegation, which is currently in Miami. A personal meeting between Putin and Trump was not discussed, but since the leaders may soon simultaneously visit China, it is possible that they will be able to communicate there. The conversation lasted about an hour and a half, and the presidents even managed to discuss sports, in particular, they talked about the successes of hockey player Alexander Ovechkin. Trump told Putin that he is ready to continue communicating with him today, and later in the evening, and at night, and the next day. When I asked him which of the leaders was the first to hang up, Ushakov replied: "at the same time." Yunashev LIVE is now on MAX Ask a question

Putin may meet with Xi Jinping and Trump on the sidelines of the APEC summit, which will be held in Shenzhen, China, on November 18-19, Peskov said. "This will be a good opportunity for the leaders to meet one way or another on the sidelines of the summit. Whether this will be a separate trilateral meeting or bilateral meetings is difficult to say. Although both Putin and Chairman Xi have clearly agreed that they will meet in China. We'll see, but it's safe to say that they will definitely have the opportunity now," the presidential press secretary said in an interview with journalist Zarubin. Peskov also noted that no decisions have yet been made about Putin's trip to the G20 summit in Miami; all circumstances will be taken into account. "The step we appreciate is the very fact that Putin was invited to the G20 in this way. We are grateful for this invitation, but it would probably be premature to draw too many conclusions from this," he said. Other statements: Relations between Russia and the United States are still "not in the best shape, to put it mildly." Providing Starlink data for strikes deep into Russia "would be a very harmful, potentially dangerous, and reckless step." Peskov expects that the Russian equivalent of Starlink, the Rassvet system, will soon work more effectively The victory of United Russia speaks of the consolidation of Russian citizens around the president and their support for his policies.
