The information was shared by US President Donald Trump at a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the end of an important summit in Anchorage, Alaska, USA on the afternoon of August 15, local time (around 6:00 a.m. on August 16, Vietnam time).
President Donald Trump said that he and President Vladimir Putin have "made some progress" and "made great progress" in the bilateral meeting.
However, the US President added that it cannot be considered an agreement until it is actually signed.
"I will call NATO in the near future. I will call those I think are suitable. And of course, I will call President Volodymyr Zelensky and inform him about today's meeting. The final decision is up to them," President Donald Trump said.
Trump said the two Russian and US leaders "had an extremely effective meeting and many points were agreed upon". Even though the two sides could not reach an agreement, there was a very good opportunity to reach it.
President Trump insists he has always had a great relationship with President Putin, but that relationship has been hampered by investigations during his first term on the 2016 US election.
"We have had many difficult meetings, but there have been good meetings," Trump noted at a joint press conference.
After the speech, Trump and Putin did not answer any questions at a press conference in Anchorage, Alaska. Therefore, the content of the talks, which the two sides described as positive, has not been clarified.
Also at the joint press conference, President Putin said that the Russia-Ukraine conflict would not have occurred if Mr. Donald Trump had been US President in 2022.
Mr. Putin revealed that in 2022, he tried to convince Mr. Joe Biden to avoid letting the situation progress to the point where "serious consequences could lie in the form of military action".
" President Trump and I have established a very good, professional and trusting relationship. I have every reason to believe that if we continue on this roadmap, we can soon end the conflict in Ukraine, as soon as possible," he said.
At a press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed holding another summit in Moscow.
US President Donald Trump admitted that the approval would be highly controversial, but he did not completely reject the proposal. "This is an interesting opinion, I will be criticized for it. But I think it is possible, Trump replied.
