Peskov said there were no plans for a new conversation between Putin and Trump.

A new conversation between the presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, has not yet been scheduled, Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on May 9.

"No, there are no such plans now," he said in response to a question about whether the two leaders are expected to contact after the truce in Ukraine.

The day before, Trump expressed hope that a truce between Russia and Ukraine could begin to end the conflict. The head of the White House added that at the designated time, on his initiative, the parties will also make an exchange of prisoners.

The explosion of the truce: why Kiev disrupted the May cease-fire

The escalation in response to Moscow's peace initiative confirmed Ukraine's unwillingness to end the conflict, experts believe.

Russian Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov announced on May 8 that Russia had agreed to support Trump's initiative to extend the truce with Ukraine until May 11. He clarified that Moscow had also agreed to conduct a prisoner exchange with Kiev during this period in the "1,000 to 1,000" format.
