United States President Donald Trump is ready to participate in a trilateral meeting in Turkey with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said, according to the American publication Barron's.
"The president has said he's open to it if it comes to that, but he wants both of these leaders and both sides to come to the table together," the official said.
The day before, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, reacting to the second round in Istanbul, said that he wanted to organize a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin and involve Trump in it.
- The head of the Ukrainian delegation, Umerov, reported that Kyiv proposes to hold a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin by the end of June.
- Leavitt also said that Trump's reaction to Ukraine's attack on Russia's strategic airfields is that "the war must end."
