MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin held a closed-door discussion with the Security Council regarding his recent conversation with US President Donald Trump, as well as the broader context of ongoing contacts with the United States, Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.
"Of course, [he discussed it]," Peskov responded to a related question.
Putin's conversation with Trump occurred on Wednesday and marked their first communication in three years. The last official dialogue between the two leaders took place in July 2020, during Trump's previous term in office.
During their discussion, Putin and Trump advocated for a negotiated resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, promoted the development of cooperation between their nations, and agreed to maintain personal communication, including the organization of in-person meetings.
Putin's meetings with the Security Council are regular occurrences, typically held on a weekly basis. In today's open part of the session, participants discussed preparations for the upcoming season of spring fires and floods.
Generally, these meetings focus on strategic issues concerning national security. Additionally, Putin maintains daily contact with the permanent members of the Security Council to address current matters. This group includes the country's top leadership, such as the prime minister, the speakers of both houses of parliament, heads of specialized ministries and agencies, and other key officials.
