Russian President Vladimir Putin told U.S. President Donald Trump in a phone call on Thursday that Moscow wants a negotiated end to the Ukraine war but will not step back from its original goals, a Kremlin aide said.

The call marked the sixth publicly acknowledged conversation between the two leaders since Trump returned to office earlier this year.

In a video that has now gone viral, the Russian leader can be heard telling the audience, "Please don't be angry. I understand that we could talk more. But it's so awkward to make him (Trump) wait, he could get offended.
