President Donald Trump said on Friday he would “probably” meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy next week and hinted at a talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin, APA reports citing CNN.
“I will probably be meeting with President Zelenskyy next week, and I will probably be talking to President Putin. I’d like to see that war end,” Trump told reporters from the White House.
When asked if the meeting would take place in Washington, DC, Trump replied, “could be Washington well, I’m not going there,” meaning Kyiv.
Trump also referred to discussions he wants to have about the financial and military support the US provides Ukraine, in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
“One of the things we’re looking at with President Zelenskyy is having the security of their assets,” he said, “we’re also asking President Zelenskyy for the security of putting all this money up,” Trump added.
Zelenskyy will lead Ukraine’s delegation at the Munich Security Conference next week, which Vice President JD Vance and special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, are also scheduled to attend, but not President Trump.
