Russian President Vladimir Putin has told former U.S. President Donald Trump that a recent Ukrainian attack on a Russian presidential residence "will not go unanswered."
Putin gave the warning during a phone call with Trump, according to a statement from Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov. The Russian leader said the strike would force Moscow to revise its position on several agreements related to Ukraine.
The call followed a reported Ukrainian drone attack on Putin's Novo-Ogaryovo residence near Moscow. The Kremlin has not specified what form its response might take or which agreements could be changed.
This conversation marks a significant direct communication between the two leaders since Trump left office. It highlights how the war in Ukraine remains a central issue in international diplomacy.
