Trump announced his intention to talk with Putin in the near future.

US President Donald Trump wants to talk to Russian leader Vladimir Putin soon. He made a corresponding statement to reporters on September 7 during a speech at the Andrews military base.

"Very soon. Over the next few days," Trump clarified.

The American leader also expressed confidence in the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.

"This whole situation with Russia and Ukraine. We can do it. I am sure that we will do it," he said.

The language of delusion: will the US convince Ukraine to agree to a deal

If this attempt fails and Washington withdraws from the settlement, the EU will have to dramatically increase spending on supporting Kiev.

On September 5, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not rule out a second round of talks between Putin and Trump. According to him, if necessary, a meeting between the two leaders can be organized very quickly. The Kremlin's official representative also added that the interests of Moscow and Washington coincide if the head of the White House can contribute to a diplomatic settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.

On the same day, adviser to the President of the Russian Federation Anton Kobyakov said that Putin and Trump had agreed to bring the positions of the two countries closer. Also, on August 22, the Russian president pointed to the "light at the end of the tunnel" in Russian-American relations after Trump's return to the White House.
