United States President Donald Trump has commented on efforts to organize a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Trump said he would prefer not to attend the meeting. He then used a metaphorical comparison to describe their relationship, saying that Putin and Zelensky are like oil and vinegar, they don't get along.
"We'll see if Putin and Zelensky work together. You know, this is a bit like oil and vinegar. They don't get along very well with each other, for obvious reasons, but we'll see, and then we'll see if I have to be there or not. I would prefer not to be. I would prefer that they have a meeting and see how they can work it out," he stressed.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told NBC News that there are currently no plans for Putin to meet with Zelensky, but the Russian leader will be ready for it as soon as an agenda is prepared.
