Once upon a time, there were two important leaders: Vladimir Putin from Russia and Donald Trump from the United States. They talked on the phone for a long time. This was big news! Everyone in Russia felt happy. They thought their leader was winning and that things were going their way. Putin had been waiting for this special phone call. He hoped that Trump would help him with his plans for a place called Ukraine. Some people in Russia were really excited they felt a big celebration was coming. They wanted Trump to visit Russia, which made people think about how different it would be to see an American president there! Some people in Europe, however, were worried. They wanted to be part of the talks but felt left out. They were not too happy about the whole situation. In Russia, people thought they were being ignored which made some people feel very proud. After the call, Russia's stock market, where people buy and sell parts of companies, became brighter and grew stronger. It was like magic! Many believed they could make better deals and fix their economy. But not every adult agreed on what was happening. Some thought the talks might not go well. They worried that there would be more fighting and that it was too complicated. Still, many folks in Russia hoped for good news. In the end, everybody was waiting to see what would happen next. Would Trump and Putin meet again? Would they fix things together? Everyone was curious! The world felt like a big puzzling game, with many pieces moving around. And the story was far from over!
