Trump assessed the relationship between relations with Putin and the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine

US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, which is taking place in New York on September 23, noted that his good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, contrary to his expectations, did not affect the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.

"The biggest disappointment is the situation with Russia and Ukraine. I thought it would be the easiest to settle this because of my relationship with Putin, but unfortunately, this relationship meant nothing," RIA Novosti quoted the head of the White House as saying.

It is specified that the corresponding statement was made at a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
