President Trump told Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call on Saturday that White House envoy Steve Witkoff is ready to resume nuclear talks with Iran's foreign minister, the Russian president's foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said.

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to U.S. President Donald Trump for 50 minutes on Saturday, focusing on hostilities between Israel and Iran and calling for efforts to bring them to an end.

The U.S. president is considering involving Moscow in nuclear negotiations with Iran, which have been bilateral until now. It is no secret that Vladimir Putin is furious about the destruction of a significant part of his air fleet after the worst attack since World War II on his bases and the new attack on the Crimean Bridge.
