President Donald Trump has indicated that he is open to meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Trump's comments came as part of his broader discussion on international diplomacy, where he emphasized his desire to take action to reduce violence in the region.

He stated, 'They would like to meet with me, and I'll do whatever I can to stop the killing.' This remark highlights his intention to engage with both sides of the conflict, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Trump clarified that there is no precondition for Putin to speak with Zelenskyy prior to a potential meeting between himself and Putin.

This development occurs amidst ongoing international efforts to mediate peace and establish a dialogue between Ukraine and Russia, particularly following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which has resulted in significant loss of life and displacement of individuals within the region.

Diplomatic efforts remain crucial as global stakeholders continue to seek a resolution to the conflict.
