“The two military leaders discussed several security-related issues of concern,” the Pentagon said in a statement.

Neither the Pentagon, nor the Russian Defense Ministry disclosed additional details of the call in their respective statements.

The two generals’ calls came as Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said 10 American strategic bombers had been practicing nuclear strikes across Eastern Europe in recent weeks. Shoigu said the maneuvers of the US planes were a rehearsal for the Russian nuclear bomb.

“The exercise involved the [pesawat] bombers who practice their ability to use nuclear weapons against Russia,” Shoigu said after meeting Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe in Moscow on Tuesday.
