US President Donald Trump says Washington has planned meetings and contacts with Russia and Ukraine, TASS news agency reported on Monday.
Speaking at the Andrews Air Force Base near Washington DC, Trump said: “We had a very busy weekend. We’re dealing with Israel; we’re dealing with Ukraine and Russia.
The US leader added his government had meetings and talks scheduled with various parties, including Ukraine and Russia.
“I think those discussions are actually going pretty well,” remarked the Republican president, who has repeatedly vowed to end the conflict in Ukraine.
Earlier, CNN reported that members of the Ukrainian armed forces were pessimistic about the possibility of achieving a ceasefire in the current circumstances.
One Ukrainian soldier told the broadcaster: “There is only a 30% chance of a ceasefire. Because the situation on the front is not in such a way that we can see that there will be a truce. It’s all very difficult.”
An unnamed Ukrainian battalion commander suggested a ceasefire deal could be a disaster for his country. “If there is a ceasefire now, it will only get worse for us.”
