                                        According to #Russia TASS, #Putin yesterday spoke to #Trump for 90 minutes and - again, according to TASS - Putin most important topics was his complaints about #Ukraine “terrorist attacks” on Russian fuel depots and other infrastructure targets. Putin seems to be also so much concerned about his 9 May parade ironically called “Victory Parade” that it asked Trump to broker a ceasefire just for that day.

                                        That was vaguely mentioned by Trump as well although he did sound like enthusiastically subscribing to Putin’s requests.

                                        One subject that was notably missed by both were persistent Russian attacks on Ukrainian towns which - unlike attacks on fuel depots - actually can be described as war crimes with genocidal intent as rather frequently and explicitly voiced by Russian officials.
