Putin, Trump held a phone call, discussed Mideast: Kremlin aide

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with U.S. counterpart Donald Trump, Putin's diplomatic advisor Yuri Ushakov told reporters Wednesday, adding that the two leaders focused primarily on the Middle East war.

"The presidents paid particular attention to the situation regarding Iran and in the Persian Gulf," Ushakov said.

"Vladimir Putin considers Donald Trump's decision to extend the ceasefire with Iran to be the right one, as this should give negotiations a chance and, overall, help to stabilise the situation."
