(CLO) The Kremlin announced that the phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump marked a turning point in bilateral relations, with the two countries shifting their focus from confrontation to peaceful dialogue.
In a statement on Sunday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that the conversation between the two leaders sent a strong message about resolving issues through diplomacy rather than military confrontation.
"From now on, we will talk about peace, not war," Peskov said in an interview with Russian state television.

According to the Kremlin, the phone call took place on February 12th, during which Putin and Trump discussed the situation in Ukraine, prospects for ending the conflict, Russia-US relations, and several other important international issues. The two leaders agreed to maintain regular contact and are planning a face-to-face meeting in the near future.
Peskov said that Russia had lacked contact with the previous US administration and asserted that Trump's stance on peaceful dialogue could attract the support of pragmatic individuals. He also stressed that sanctions imposed by the West would not hinder the Russia-US negotiation process, as they could be lifted quickly if there was political consensus.
Analysts believe that the dialogue between Putin and Trump could open a new chapter in Russia-US relations, especially given the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the lack of easing tensions between Moscow and the West. If both sides make progress in the upcoming talks, this could significantly impact the global political landscape.
