In a telephone conversation at the summit, he also told European leaders that he wants to organize a three -sided peak with Putin and Zełnski the next Friday.

The President of Ukraine says “no”

According to Reuters, citing his sources, during the later conversation between Donald Trump and the President of Ukraine, the Volodymyr Zelnski was to be discussed the proposal to freeze most of the front lines, if Kiev forces will renounce the whole Donetskthe industrial region, which is one of Moscow's main goals.
