United States President Donald Trump insisted on Thursday that "nothing will happen" concerning the solution to the crisis in Ukraine until he and his Russian counterpart "get together" to discuss it.
Speaking to the press aboard Air Force One on his way from Qatar to the United Arab Emirates, he claimed that Putin decided not to attend the ongoing peace negotiations with Ukraine after learning Trump was not going to be present either. "But we're gonna have to get it solved because too many people are dying," he underscored.
Previously, during a roundtable with business people in Qatar, Trump noted that "I actually said, 'Why would he go if I'm not going?' ... I would go, but I wasn't planning to go, and I said, 'I don't think he's going to go if I don't go.'" Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to Turkey, and so did US State Secretary Marco Rubio.
