“The Zelensky-Putin meeting is in the process of being prepared,” – Trump

A meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and Russia, Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, is “in the process of being prepared.”

This was stated by U.S. President Donald Trump in an interview with the radio program The Mark Levin Show.

“I had a very successful meeting with President Putin. I had a very successful meeting with President Zelensky. And now I thought it would be better if they meet without me, just to see. I want to see what happens. You know, they’ve had difficult relations—very bad, very bad relations. And now let’s see how it goes. And if necessary—and it probably will be—I’ll come, and most likely I’ll be able to bring it to completion,” Trump said.

“I just want to see what happens at this meeting. So they are in the process of organizing it, and we’ll see what happens,” he added.

Earlier, the news portal Axios reported that Trump urged Putin to be realistic and discuss territorial claims at the meeting with Zelensky.

The day before, the White House stated that Putin had promised Trump he would meet directly with Zelensky.
