During the telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump on October 9, considerable attention was devoted to the prospects for resolving the Ukraine crisis. The situation surrounding Iran and various aspects of bilateral relations were also discussed.

In discussing the state of global energy markets, the Russian side reaffirmed its readiness to supply oil and petroleum products to the American and global markets. I am confident that this will have a positive impact on the global economy as a whole.

The two sides reaffirmed their agreement to continue direct contacts between the presidents of the two countries, as well as cooperation between their presidential administrations, intelligence services, and other government agencies.
