Donald Trump made it clear that he doesn’t want Russian President Vladimir Putin involved in the Iran-Israel standoff.

US President Donald Trump said that he bluntly rejected an offer from Vladimir Putin to help mediate the conflict between Iran and Israel as he told the Russian President that what the world needs is for Moscow to end its war in Ukraine. Donald Trump said that Vladimir Putin asked him, “Can I help you with Iran?"

Firing back, Donald Trump told the Russian President, “No. I don’t need help with Iran. I need help with you." The US President- who has touted ceasefire in Western Asia as a major diplomatic victory- made it clear that he doesn’t want Russia involved in the Iran-Israel standoff as he pressed Vladimir Putin to focus on ending Moscow’s grinding war in Ukraine.

Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire?

Despite months of speculation about a potential ceasefire, Vladimir Putin’s rhetoric appeared to shut the door on any immediate diplomacy. Earlier, the Russian leader said that “all of Ukraine is ours" at an investment forum in St. Petersburg. He asserted, “I have said many times that I consider the Russian and Ukrainian people to be one nation. In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours. There is an old rule: ‘Where a Russian soldier sets foot, that is ours.’"

Russian troops continue advancing in eastern Ukraine, with the defense ministry claiming this week that it had captured a village in the Zaporizhzhia region. Vladimir Putin also threatened a devastating response if Ukraine were to use what he called a “dirty bomb", adding, “This would be a colossal mistake… it could be their last mistake. Our response will be very tough."
