Trump And Putin Set To Meet In Saudi Arabia On Ukraine

The Russian president invited the U.S. president to visit Moscow and expressed his readiness to receive American officials in Russia in those areas of mutual interest, including, of course, the topic of the Ukrainian settlement,

Peskov said

Vladimir Putinpresident

We expect that he'll come here, and I'll go there -- and we're going to meet probably in Saudi Arabia the first time,

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office about his plans to meet Putin

I think I could say with great confidence: he wants to see it [the war in Ukraine] end,

he noted

I want to thank President Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call, and for the release, yesterday, of Marc Fogel, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House

In his Truth Social post, Trump said

Probably we'll have a first meeting and then we'll see what we can do about a second meeting,

he said of the Saudi summit

I think we're on the way to any peace,

he told reporters of those conversations

We want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the War with Russia/Ukraine

Announcing the negotiations, Trump wrote

Millions of people have died in a War that would not have happened if I were President, but it did happen, so it must end

He wrote

We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now.

He added

I'm not going to tell you my plan, this should've been done by Biden, not by me this has been going on for a long time,

he said

We ultimately expect to meet,

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office
