US President Donald Trump called for his Ukrainian and Russian counterparts Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin to "get together" to end the Ukraine conflict, APA reports citing DW.
"I think that President Putin and President Zelenskyy are going to have to get together. Because you know what? We want to stop killing millions of people," Trump told reporters at the White House.
Trump has been pushing for a deal to end the war soon and has held separate calls with both leaders. His top officials recently met their Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia in talks that did not include Ukraine.
Trump's new call follows comments by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier Friday, who said a potential meeting between Trump and Putin would "largely depend on whether we can make progress on ending the war in Ukraine."
In an interview published on social media, Rubio said he told Russian officials in Saudi Arabia earlier that there would be no meeting until "we know what the meeting is going to be about."
