U.S. President Donald Trump has an eye on ending the war in Ukraine and has announced that he has begun to "organize" a bilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian Volodimir Zelenski, which would take place in the next two weeks in an unspecified place. 

Trump made this announcement after his meeting this Monday with Zelensky and several European leaders. 

"At the end of the meetings, I called President Putin and started organizing a meeting between Putin and Zelensky in a place yet to be defined," Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social. 

After that bilateral meeting, there would be a tripartite meeting with Trump. 

Zelenski welcomed the "unconditional" meeting with Putin and explained that, according to that first meeting, Trump would join the talks. 

Putin, for his part, has spoken to Trump about the possibility of raising the level of Russian and Ukrainian representation in the telephone conversation they held after the White House meeting.
