President Donald Trump says his administration has already had “very serious” discussions with Russia about its war in Ukraine and that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin could soon take “significant” action toward ending the grinding conflict.

For those with a vested interest in Ukraine, U.S. President Donald Trump's first week in office was a bit of a rollercoaster. During his first presidential term, Trump famously praised Russian President Vladimir Putin.

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.
