US President Donald Trump commented on the upcoming negotiations with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, noting that they could end in either success or failure. The American leader calls the main goal - to end the war and unite the leaders of Russia and Ukraine at one negotiating table, writes UNN with reference to News Sky.
Trump stated that, in his opinion, the meeting with Putin "will be good, but it could also be bad."
"I'm here for one reason - to get rid of a war that someone else started," he told reporters.
He added: "Ultimately, I'm going to put the two of them (Putin and Zelenskyy – ed.) in one room, I'll be there or I won't, and I think this issue will be resolved."
Trump also confirms that he will speak with European leaders before meeting with Putin.
