President Donald Trump says he is preparing for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The US president-elect did not give a timetable for when the meeting would take place.
“He wanted to meet and we are arranging to meet,” he said from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Shortly after taking office on January 20, President Trump pledged to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine and expressed skepticism about U.S. military and financial support for Kiev.
