US-Russia call: Putin is “stringing Trump along”
19 Mar 2025
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to Putin’s phone call with Trump, Calum Miller MP, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, said:
"Donald Trump's fawning call with Putin couldn't be more different to his and JD Vance's shameful bullying of Zelensky in the Oval Office.
"It's clear Trump is being played by Putin - stringing him along and currying favour even as his savage war machine continues to push deeper into Ukraine.
"Now is the time for the UK and our allies in Europe and the Commonwealth to redouble our efforts to support Ukraine's defence and achieve a lasting peace."
