> US President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin as Washington renewed efforts to secure a peace deal in Ukraine. Putin’s adviser said the leaders discussed the war, Russia’s battlefield aims and a proposal to end the conflict. Separate meetings between US envoys, Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy produced no breakthrough, and strikes resumed.
