VLADIMIR Putin is ready to resume talks with Donald Trump after the US President revealed he was “p***ed off” with him.

Volatile Trump hit out when Putin stalled peace hopes again by insisting Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky must step down.

Russia continued to shell Ukraine yesterday, with both sides reporting attacks on energy infrastructure, breaching a partial ceasefire.

Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian leader was open to a call with Trump “if necessary”.

The Kremlin added: “We continue working with the US side, first of all, on building our relations.”

Finland’s President Alexander Stubb, who discussed peace efforts over golf with Trump, said the US leader is losing patience with Moscow.

Trump took a rare aim at Putin on Sunday after the Russian tyrant called for president Zelensky’s removal.

He said: “I was very angry, p***ed off, when Putin started getting into Zelensky’s credibility.”

He has threatened to impose a 50 per cent tariff on countries buying Russian oil.

However, he then turned on Zelensky — accusing him of trying to back out of a minerals deal.

He warned of “big, big problems” if he did.

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Kharkiv regional head Oleh Sunehubov said 2,000 people were left without power due to Russian shelling.

Fires also raged in the region after attacks on production and warehouse buildings.

Russia said attacks by Ukraine caused a power outage in its Bryansk region while drone strikes hit an electricity substation.
