<p>US President <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/donald-trump-says-vladimir-putin-wished-him-happy-birthday-both-agree-to-end-israel-iran-war-23569014" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Donald Trump</a> and Russian President Vladimir Putin said they will speak by phone Thursday, their sixth publicly disclosed chat since Trump returned to the White House this year.<p>


<p>Trump said in a social media post the call will take place at 10 am EDT. Neither leader offered any immediate details on the topic.</p>
<p>Their previous publicly known call came June 14, a day after Israel attacked Iran.</p>
<p>Their resumed contacts appeared to reflect both leaders' interest in mending <a href="https://mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/very-productive-discussions-with-donald-trump-says-vladimir-putin-23548447" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">US-Russian ties</a> that have plummeted to their lowest point since the Cold War amid the 3-year-old conflict in Ukraine.</p>
<p>Thursday's call follows the Pentagon's confirmation that it's pausing shipment of some weapons to Ukraine as it goes about a global review of US military stockpiles. The weapons being held up for Ukraine include air defence missiles, precision-guided artillery and other equipment.</p>
<p>The details on the weapons in some of the paused deliveries were confirmed by a <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/vladimir-putin-says-russia-could-help-broker-deal-between-iran-and-israel-in-their-current-conflict-23572682" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">US official</a> and former national security official familiar with the matter. They both requested anonymity to discuss what is being held up as the Pentagon has yet to provide details.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron held their first direct telephone call in almost three years.</p>
