At least they will be able to determine if the agreement is possible, and if not, European leaders and the US will know what everything is standing, and they will be able to act properly! » – wrote Donald Trump.
Finally, he added a typical slogan: « Meeting, now !!! »
Putin plays differently

Vladimir Putin did not accept this condition. In return, he announced that Russia is ready for direct peace conversations with Ukraine – in Istanbul, from May 15.
« We are ready to negotiate without any preliminary conditions, » he said. He did not rule out an agreement on a truce, but only in the course of talks, not before them.
