Donald Trump last night dismissed the idea that a US-Russia summit will only happen if Vladimir Putin meets Ukraine’s president.
The US leader is continuing to seek a diplomatic end to the war in Ukraine – and is threatening economic sanctions if Putin continues to snub Volodymyr Zelensky.
A Kremlin aide yesterday indicated that Mr Trump and Putin could get together ‘in the coming days’.
Putin said desire for a US-Russia summit was ‘mutual’ and that friends in the UAE could accommodate the meeting.
He also did not rule out face-to-face talks with President Zelensky, adding ‘certain conditions’ would need to be met, without specifying what those would be.
