WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he would probably meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy next week to discuss Ukraine’s war to repel Russian invaders.

Trump did not make clear whether it would be a face-to-face meeting or a video conference. He spoke about the possibility while taking questions from reporters in an Oval Office welcome for Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

Trump said he will “probably be meeting with President Zelenskiy next week,” and he also again expressed interest in meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin with whom he said he always had a “good relationship.”

Asked for a location for such a meeting with Zelenskiy, Trump noted “I’m here” in Washington and said he would not be going to Ukraine.
