US President Donald Trump said that a potential trilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not necessarily have to take place face-to-face. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.

"They want to meet, so we'll see. Maybe we can organize it. It doesn't have to be in a face-to-face meeting format; it can be done in other ways. But I think it will happen soon," Trump told journalists.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that he is interested in ending the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible through a peaceful settlement. He noted that Moscow is ready for negotiations.
