Donald Trump spoke Wednesday on the phone with his Russian peer, Vladimir Putin.
In a Truth Social post, which was deleted minutes later, the Republican front-runner claimed that during the call that lasted more than an hour they were able to discuss the Russian bomber attack and other attacks perpetrated by both sides.
"It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace," Trump said in his post.
According to the Republican leader, "President Putin did say, and very firmly, that he will have to respond to the recent airfield attack."

"We also talked about Iran, and the fact that time is running out for Iran to make a decision on nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly!" wrote Trump.
Also, the president claimed to have told Putin that "Iran cannot have nuclear weapons" and said he believed the two were in agreement on this point.
"President Putin suggested that he would participate in the conversations with Iran and that, perhaps, he could be helpful in bringing this to a quick conclusion," Trump said after the call with the Kremlin leader.
Also, the president said that in his opinion "Iran has taken too long to make a decision on this very important issue."
"We will need a definitive answer in a very short time," the Republican leader stated.
Without reaching concrete agreements, the two leaders had previously talked to each other
At the end of that telematic meeting, Putin, in remarks reported by AFP, said the conversation - which lasted more than two hours - was "useful, very informative and very frank."
"I think it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations to achieve a cease-fire and, most importantly, an end to the war. The conditions for this will be negotiated between the two sides, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that no one else would know. The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent," Trump wrote.
