'He Could Get Offended': Putin Rushes Out Of Conclave To Keep Trump From Waiting Too Long
Last Updated: Russian President Putin left the Strong Ideas forum to speak with US President Trump. They discussed Middle East tensions and Ukraine, emphasizing diplomatic solutions. Russian President Vladimir Putin rushed to leave a plenary session of the Strong Ideas for a New Time forum to promote new projects, in a hurry, as he was scheduled to speak with US President Donald Trump on Thursday. Putin was attending the forum held by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives. The talks between the two leaders marked their sixth known discussion since Trump resumed office. The talks are also happening against the US's unsuccessful attempts to mediate a Ukraine ceasefire. The Russian President apologised to the host and the crowd and announced that he is going to have a phone call with Trump and requested the audience, 'Please, don't be angry. I understand that we could talk more, but it's so awkward to make [Trump] wait; he could get offended." Putin rushes to talk to Trump, lest he gets offended for being made to wait — RT (@RT_com) July 3, 2025 According to RT News, the two leaders discussed Middle East tensions 'in great detail". The Russian leader emphasised that all issues need to be solved by diplomatic means. The presidents also agreed to stay in close contact. RT News further posted on X, 'Putin wished Trump SUCCESS in implementing his BBB and congratulated him on the upcoming Independence Day. The Russian leader noted that their countries are connected by deeper historical roots." Noting that the call lasted almost an hour, Ushakov added, 'He also mentioned the Russian side's readiness to continue the negotiation process." Putin stressed the need for diplomatic solutions to conflicts involving Iran and other Middle Eastern issues during his discussion with Trump. 'From the Russian side, the significance of resolving all disputed issues, disagreements, and conflicts exclusively through political and diplomatic means was stressed," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov relayed to reporters after the call.

Trump admits protecting Putin over Ukraine: ‘He's playing with fire!'
President Donald Trump admitted Tuesday he's been protecting Vladimir Putin over the Russian strongman's refusal to end — or even scale back — the war in Ukraine. After seeing his pleas for peace talks or a ceasefire go unanswered for months, Trump conceded that he's defended Putin in discussions over what to do next about Russia's new attacks in Ukraine. 'If it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia,' Trump wrote on his social media site. 'And I mean really bad.' Despite the telling admission, Trump inferred he may soon shift course and impose some cost on Putin for continuing the invasion by Russia of its smaller neighbor. 'He's playing with fire,' Trump exclaimed, without elaborating. Top Putin aide Dmitry Medvedev fired back at Trump, warning that 'I only know of one bad thing — WW III.' But the pro-Kremlin RT News channel chose to mock Trump's tough guy act, noting that he has repeatedly backed down after making previous threats to Putin and on trade. 'Trump's message leaves little room for misinterpretation,' the channel tweeted. 'Until he posts the opposite tomorrow morning.' Putin has shrugged off several previous outbursts from Trump, including branding the U.S. president's recent call for an end to 'crazy' airstrikes an 'emotional reaction.' Trump vowed to end the war in Ukraine on the campaign trail, but so far has seen little to no progress toward that goal since taking office four months ago. He says he believes Putin wants to end the war, but the strategy of mostly taking Russia's side appears to have backfired by giving Putin little reason to make concessions. Trump conceded to Russia's demands that Ukraine be permanently barred from joining NATO and must give up Russian-occupied lands including the Crimea. He hasn't appeared to get anything in return from Putin. Instead, the Russians seem confident they can win more ground on the battlefield and eventually get a better deal when or if they decide to end the war they launched when they invaded their sovereign neighbor in 2022. Months ago, Trump demanded that both sides accept his unilateral call for a ceasefire. Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed, but Putin snubbed Trump and has stubbornly refused to end the fighting. Russia has instead escalated attacks on the front lines in occupied Ukraine and on civilian targets in Kyiv and other cities. Despite Putin's recalcitrance, Trump has refused to make him pay any price for ignoring his pleas. Trump continues to laud Russia as a potentially lucrative trading partner and says he hopes to hold a face-to-face summit soon, effectively sending mixed messages to the Kremlin. _____
