The Ukrainian conflict, which broke out about three years ago, has deteriorated relations between the two nuclear powers, to its lowest levels since the Cold War.
Trump, who took office on January 20, said he was ready to meet Putin “immediately” to reach an agreement to end the war.

Kiev has warned against excluding her from any peace talks between the two presidents, accusing Putin of trying to “manipulate” Trump.
