Russian President Vladimir Putin received a number of congratulations from world leaders for his birthday this week but none from the president of the United States, Donald Trump, nor his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, the Kremlin said Tuesday.
By the end of the day, I saw no congratulatory messages from Trump and Zelensky, press secretary Dmitry Peskov told journalists. Either there are none, or they may come later: Sometimes such messages come with delay via diplomatic channels. They may never come, after all.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation, but there were no public readouts of a birthday message to Putin.
Putin turned 67 years old on Monday. The Kremlin said that a range of foreign leaders had reached out to offer their best wishes, including former Armenian president Robert Kocharyan, who called from jail, where he was being held on charges of overthrowing the constitutional system.

Some people are never satisfied.
