"At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin ," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, referring to his White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and seven other European leaders.
"I began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and Zelenskyy," he said.
The US leader added that the Putin-Zelenskyy talks would be followed by a trilateral summit involving himself and his two counterparts.
