Donald Trump held a personal phone call with Vladimir Putin on Thursday in which he told the Russian premier not to escalate the war in Ukraine, it has emerged.
The President-elect, who retook the White House in a barnstorming electoral victory earlier this week, urged Putin not to take things further, the Washington Post revealed on Sunday.
But Trump also issued his Russian soon-to-be counterpart with a stark reminder.
He told Putin not to forget America's "sizeable" military presence in Europe, several people familiar with the call told The Post.
Trump said he would bring an immediate end to the war in Ukraine throughout the campaign trail - and pledged to GB News that Putin would "never" have invaded his next-door neighbour under a Trump presidency.
And in the two leaders' call, Trump "briefly raised the issue of land", the newspaper's sources said - but Russia has since insisted that Putin's demands have not changed.
