Ukraine ‘may be Russian someday’, Trump says ahead of Zelenskyy meeting with Vance US president also says he wants a return on US aid given to Ukraine such as rare minerals, in interview with Fox News.
Zelenskyy said on Monday a meeting with Trump was being arranged though a date had not yet been fixed, while Trump said last week he would “probably” meet Zelenskyy in the coming days, but ruled out personally travelling to Kyiv.
US president Donald Trump has floated the idea that Ukraine “may be Russian someday”, as his vice-president JD Vance gears up to meet Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy later this week.
The New York Post reported on Saturday that Trump had told the publication he had spoken on the phone to Putin to discuss bringing an end to the conflict in Ukraine, saying the Russian leader had told him he “wants to see people stop dying”.
A source in Zelenskyy’s office said Kellogg would arrive in Ukraine on 20 February, without detailing where in the country he would visit.
