US President Donald Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin told him “very strongly” in a phone call on Wednesday that he will respond to Ukraine’s weekend drone attack on Russian airfields.

The US president said in a social media post that “it was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace.”
