US President Donald Trump said Thursday he would meet with Vladimir Putin even if the Russian leader didn’t sit down beforehand with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Trump, asked by reporters in the Oval Office if Putin was required to meet Zelensky first, said: “No, he doesn’t, no.”

“They would like to meet with me, and I’ll do whatever I can to stop the killing,” he added.
