I will probably meet President Zelenskyj next week, says Trump to journalists on Friday.

According to the news agency AP, Trump also says that he "will probably talk to President Putin as well".

I would like to see an end to the war, says Trump, without giving any details about how the conversation with Putin would go.

Few leaders in the West have spoken with the Russian president since the large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The potential meeting between Trump and Zelenskyj would be the first between the two leaders since Trump was installed in the White House in January. Trump has promised that as president, he will put an end to Russia's war in Ukraine.

When a reporter asks Trump if the meeting would take place in Washington, he responds that it "could be Washington. I'm not going there (Kyiv)".
