Germany reacted to the phone conversation between the US president and the head of the Kremlin.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius believes U.S. leader Donald Trump has misjudged his influence over dictator Vladimir Putin.

It was reported by Reuters.

The statement came after a phone conversation between the two leaders failed to bring any progress in peace talks on Ukraine.

"I suspect he misjudged his negotiating position," the minister said.

Reminder, earlier Donald Trump had a more than two-hour conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. After that, he said that Russia and Ukraine would immediately start negotiations on ceasefire and war.
