Trump says he met Russian envoy and predicts a wider Europe deal
US President Donald Trump met Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev in Washington on Thursday.
Trump said he would not reveal what they discussed and said he had not met Ukraine’s delegation.
He predicted a major agreement involving Ukraine and Europe, but did not explain what it would include.
The meeting comes as the United States seeks to mediate in Russia’s war against Ukraine, which has lasted more than four and a half years, according to one account.
A diplomatic breakthrough has not yet been announced, and Trump’s approach to Russia has also faced criticism in the United States.
Representatives of Russia, Ukraine and the United States are due to meet in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11.
US President Donald Trump said he met Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev at the White House in Washington.
Trump said he had not met with Ukraine’s delegation and declined to give details of his discussion with Dmitriev.
He predicted a “big” agreement that could involve more than Ukraine and possibly all of Europe.
The sources report that representatives of the United States, Russia and Ukraine were expected to hold talks in Abu Dhabi the following week.
First Lady Melania Trump separately received Dmitriev and two Ukrainian representatives on Thursday to discuss a limited ceasefire in Oleshky.
