MOSCOW, July 3 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he was going to speak to U.S. President Donald Trump later in the day.

It will be the sixth publicly known conversation between the two leaders since Trump returned to the White House in January and comes amid so far unsuccessful U.S. efforts to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine.

The two men last spoke on June 14, in a call mostly focused on Iran.
