The US President still considers a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky possible.
The media notes that Trump hoped to facilitate a meeting between the two sides after his meeting with Putin in Alaska in August.
In turn, Zelensky stated that he was ready to meet with the Russian dictator, but this has not yet happened, as Moscow refrained from any commitments.
Leavitt also added that Putin intends to meet with Trump.
According to Leavitt, the conversation lasted a total of two hours, and Trump believes that progress has been made on Russia's war in Ukraine.
The US President will try to move things forward for peace, Leavitt summarized.
