UAThe article reports on an alleged phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a statement by Yuriy Usachov, a representative of the Russian administration. The conversation reportedly discussed the war in Ukraine and the upcoming NATO summit in Turkey. Usachov claimed that during the call, Putin emphasized his demands for ending the conflict and accused Ukraine of escalating tensions and engaging in terrorism against civilians. He also boasted about the purported capture of Kostyanivka by Russian forces, calling it a significant step toward liberating the entire territory of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic. The report notes that the claim comes from an audio message shared with Russian propagandists, raising questions about its credibility. Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had greeted Trump on the 250th anniversary of American independence, and there were discussions about potential meetings between Zelenskyy and Putin in Kostyanivka.
Bias read (Left): The article frames the Russian perspective as authoritative and presents the claims of Russian officials (such as Usachov and Putin) as credible, while downplaying or ignoring the lack of independent verification. It emphasizes Russia's narrative of military success and accuses Ukraine of aggression
