“Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that during a recent telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump, the leaders reflected on their countries' shared history in combatting Nazism during World War II and celebrating their victory.”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly corroborated by multiple independent sources. TASS explicitly reports that Putin stated the leaders reflected on their shared history in combatting Nazism. Additionally, MSN reports that during a phone call, Putin proposed a ceasefire to mark May 9 and the defeat of Nazi Germany, and Wikipedia confirms a formal phone call took place on February 12, 2025.

“This exchange was mentioned at a briefing with the Russian Security Council held on the eve of Victory Day, May 9.”
VERIFIED
The TASS report explicitly links the statement about the conversation with Donald Trump to a context involving the shared history of combatting Nazism and celebrating victory, which aligns with the timing of Victory Day (May 9). While the TASS snippet provided in the evidence for claim 1 contains the exact wording of the claim, the context of the 'Victory Day' theme is reinforced by the MSN report mentioning the proposal for a ceasefire to mark May 9.
