Bloomberg reports that US President Donald Trump said at a closed meeting with fellow NATO leaders that something needs to be done with Ukraine, as the situation there has "completely spiraled out of control".
This comment from the American leader came against the background of "a clear lack of enthusiasm about meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky," the publication's source said.
The media also wrote that NATO allies agreed to soften criticism of Russia in a statement to be signed by the leaders, according to the leak.
