The world on Ukraine will come "either pretty soon or it won't come at all," US President Donald Trump said at a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, his words are quoted by NBC News.
"We are working very hard to put an end to this war. I think we've made a lot of progress, and I think it's moving pretty quickly," Trump said.
According to the American leader, "progress towards peace" will continue at a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky on February 28, with whom he intends to sign an agreement on mineral resources.
Russia is ready to return to the negotiating table," Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"The current president (of the United States) has announced that he wants to achieve peace. By the way, we are too, and as soon as possible," he argued.
At the same time, according to Putin, Zelensky "stands on the way to achieving this goal." Although Moscow considers Zelensky an illegitimate president, it is ready to negotiate with "anyone" if Kiev has such a desire, Putin said at the same time.
