Brave call following positive response from Putin? (6)
I believe the answer is:
daring
'brave' is the definition.
(daring can mean adventurous or courageous)
'call following positive response from putin?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'call' could be 'ring' (telephone call) and 'ring' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'da' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for daring that I've seen before include "Boldly dramatic or unconventional" , "Risque" , "rash" , "A grind (anag.)" , "Derring-do" .)
