The Kremlin said on Friday by the voice of spokesman Dmitri Peskov, that a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart, Donald Trump, is essential to make progress on the Ukraine and other issues, but requires training and must produce results when.
Also on Friday, ending his golf tournament, Trump said he would meet Vladimir Putin “as soon as we can arrange” one day after he said that “nothing will happen until Putin and I will meet.”
Donald Trump's announcement comes one day after the first direct peace discussions between Russia and Ukraine of 2022, held without significant progress. Kiev accused Moscow of coming to the negotiating table with “unacceptable” requests. However, the two parties agreed to return each other 1,000 prisoners of war in the next period.
A few hours after the meeting, at least nine people were killed in a Russian attack that targeted a minibus that evacuated civilians in the city of Bilopillia, the Sumî region, in the northeast of Ukraine.
