National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told ABC News that the two leaders are expected to talk this week and "both sides have expressed a willingness to talk".

The conversation between the two leaders marks the first since Ukraineon 1 June, targeting what it said were nuclear-capable long-range bombers.

Trump told Putin in the call that the US was not warned in advance of the attack, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said.Ukraine's Minister of Strategic Industries Yuriy Sak told Radio 4's World Tonight programme his country had hoped the US would respond to the "incessant Russian missile and drone attacks" with "more sanctions and with more pressure".Last week, Trump appeared to set a two-week deadline for Putin, threatening to change how the US is responding to Russia if he believed Putin was still "tapping" him along on peace efforts in Ukraine.

The comment was one of a string of critical remarks by Trump, who on 26 May said that Putin had gone "absolutely crazy" and was "playing with fire" afterTrump made no mention of a deadline or his previous remarks in Wednesday's post on his Truth Social platform.

In a post on X, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky talked about the scale Russian attacks on his country since Moscow's full-scale invasion in 2022.

"Many have spoken with Russia at various levels. But none of these talks have brought a reliable peace, or even stopped the war," Zelensky wrote.Flushed with its own success, it is keen to cast the operation in the best possible light. Its information campaign has been helped by the fact that the Kremlin has said almost nothing.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday after handing out medals to SBU officers involved in the operation, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky repeated the claim that 41 aircraft had been damaged or destroyed."Half of them cannot be restored," he said, "and some will take years to repair, if they can be restored at all."

Had a ceasefire been in place, he added, Operation Spider's Web would not have happened.The latest four-minute compilation released by the SBU shows a number of key details.
