The Kremlin said on Friday that Russia closely follows all of Donald Trump's statements after the U.S. president said he was "very disappointed" with his latest conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine.

Russia has taunted President Donald Trump for repeatedly trying to force through a ceasefire in the Ukraine War. Kremlin foreign policy spokesperson Yuri Ushakov told reporters on Thursday that the U.S. president “once again raised the question of an early cessation of hostilities.”

While discussing the situation around Iran, Putin emphasized the need to resolve all issues by political and diplomatic means, said Yuri Ushakov, his foreign affairs advisor.
