At the time, Trump told reporters the first call on March 30 was "great."

The Kremlin described the call as "lengthy" with Putin and Trump both expressing concern of the scope of coronavirus.

Diplomats for the United States and Russia spoke at least three times during that same period.

Additionally, an "unusual" shipment of coronavirus-related humanitarian aid from Russia to the United States coincided with the same period, according to the report in RadioFreeEurope / RadioLiberty - a US-funded organization that reports news and analysis to countries in Eastern Europe, Central America and Asia.

Dmitry Suslov, a professor and foreign affairs expert at Moscow's Higher School of Economics called the amount of communication "unusual" but added "these are unusual times."

A Kremlin spokesman said Trump and Putin "absolutely understand each other", RadioFreeEurope RadioLiberty reported.

Oksana Antonenko, a director of global risk analysis at Control Risks, said the Trump and Putin administrations have been critical of how the United Nations and World Health Organization have responded to the coronavirus pandemic.

She said it is an opportunity to move their relationship forward, however it could cause it to deteriorate again.

While Trump has been shadowed by allegations of Russia conspiring to influence the 2016 election, Eugene Rumer, the former national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia at the National Intelligence Council said there is nothing inherently bad in the phone calls.

However, he warned Presidential phone calls aren't random.

"There has to be an agenda that has to happen," he said.
