US President Donald Trump said a major deal to end the Ukraine war is in the works and might involve all of Europe.
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that negotiations are underway for a major deal to end the Ukraine war. Speaking in the Oval Office after an unscheduled meeting with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, Trump said the agreement would be "very big" and could involve "all of Europe". He gave no further details about the proposed settlement.
Russian and Ukrainian delegations were both at the White House on Thursday attending an event to recognise first lady Melania Trump's work in brokering a six-day ceasefire in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky. Trump said he had met with the Russian envoy but not with Ukrainian officials present at the White House.
Trump's son-in-law and US envoy Jared Kushner said the United States, NATO and European partners held "productive and substantive discussions" on resolving the war on Thursday. He said the objective was to "address the security concerns of all sides through practical, mutually agreed arrangements that reduce the risk of future conflict". Discussions are scheduled to continue next week in Abu Dhabi involving Kyiv and Moscow.
