MOSCOW:  The Kremlin said on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump has had a pretty consistent position on the conflict in Ukraine and that suggestions that Trump frequently changed his mind on the subject were not true.

Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin for nearly 90 minutes by phone on Saturday ahead of this week's NATO summit in Turkey. Trump also spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
