Russian President Vladimir Putin has spoken on the phone with US President Donald Trump, the Kremlin says. They are said to have discussed the situation in Ukraine ahead of an upcoming NATO summit.

"The presidents, of course, discussed the issue of an agreement in Ukraine," Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov said, according to the Russian state news agency Ria Novosti.

Ukraine announced earlier on Saturday that its President Volodymyr Zelensky had spoken with Trump.
