Trump describes his phone call with Putin, meeting with Zelenskyy as excellent
US President Donald Trump described his meeting with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelenskyy in Florida and a phone call earlier on Sunday with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, as excellent, TASS reports.
"Our meeting was excellent. We covered, somebody would say, 95% [of issues]. I don't know what percent, but we have made a lot of progress on ending that war," the US leader said at a joint press conference with Zelenskyy at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
"As you know, I had an excellent phone call with President Putin that lasted for over two hours. We discussed a lot of points," Trump recounted.
"I really believe we're probably <…> closer [to an agreement on Ukraine] <…> than ever before with both parties. I do think we're getting a lot closer, maybe very close," he added.
As written before, EU leaders and Zelenskyy held a virtual meeting ahead of meeting with Trump.
