Putin-Trump call: Russia says Tomahawk to Ukraine threatens peace; plans for Summit on cards

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will speak in the coming days to prepare a new summit between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, a Kremlin aide said on Thursday (October 16). The official, Yuri Ushakov, said the timing of the summit would depend on how the preparatory work progressed. Ushakov made the remarks during a briefing for reporters on a phone call between Putin and Trump, their eighth this year, which he said had taken place at Moscow's initiative. "Vladimir Putin reiterated his thesis that Tomahawk missiles will not change the situation on the battlefield, but will cause significant damage to relations between our countries, not to mention the prospects for a peaceful resolution," Ushakov told reporters.
