First Trump-Putin Call Since Election Focuses On The Quick 'Resolution Of Ukraine War'

"President-elect Donald Trump is already moving quite fast on his goal to quickly bring to an end the Ukraine war. It has been revealed Sunday he held a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin previously on Thursday, the first such communication between the two since Trump won the election.

Trump urged immediate de-escalation in the call with Putin. The Washington Post describes that "During the call, which Trump took from his resort in Florida, he advised the Russian president not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him of Washington’s sizable military presence in Europe, said a person familiar with the call, who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter."
Multiple sources said the call focused on the "goal of peace on the European continent" and ended on a positive note with plans to hold future conversations on "the resolution of Ukraine's war soon". ZeroHedge
