US President Donald Trump said no real progress will be made on Ukraine until he meets directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Speaking aboard Air Force One after his Qatar visit, Trump stated, “Nothing will happen until Putin and I get together.”
Commenting on Putin’s absence from the Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul, Trump added, “He wasn’t going to go if I wasn’t there. We have to get this solved because too many people are dying.” Trump is now heading to the UAE as part of his Middle East tour.
