U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his readiness to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin even if Putin does not first meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This statement contradicts earlier reports that a Putin-Zelensky meeting was a prerequisite for a Trump-Putin summit. Trump emphasized his commitment to stopping the killing and said the decision depends on Putin. Following talks by his envoy in Moscow, Trump remains hopeful for a ceasefire but refrained from confirming a deadline.
