The Russian and US leaders have spoken for more than two hours by phone, mainly about the Ukraine conflict

Russian President Vladimir Putin has hailed his phone call with his US counterpart Donald Trump as "very useful." The two leaders spoke for over two hours on Monday, primarily about the Ukraine conflict.

Speaking to reporters shortly after the call, Putin thanked the US president for supporting the resumption of direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev on a potential peace agreement. He said Trump had outlined his position on ending hostilities and the possibility of a ceasefire during the conversation.

"For our part, I also emphasized that Russia supports a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict," Putin said, adding "We must simply identify the most effective path toward peace."

Moscow is ready to work with Kiev on a memorandum that envisions a future peace agreement between the two countries, Putin has said.

"We've agreed with the US president that Russia will propose and be ready to work with the Ukrainian side on a memorandum on a potential future peace agreement, defining such positions as the principles of the settlement and the timeframe for a potential conclusion of the peace agreement, including [the announcement of] a possible ceasefire for a certain period of time," the president stated.
