Reuters quoted a Kremlin aide as saying that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump in a phone call on Thursday that Moscow will not step back from its goals in Ukraine but that it is still interested in a negotiated settlement to the conflict.

Putin reportedly said Russia was ready to keep negotiating but that Moscow remained focused on removing what it calls the "root causes" of the conflict, now well into its fourth year.

"Our president said that Russia will achieve the aims it set, that is to say the root causes that led to the current state of affairs," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said.
