Others. Two are needed. I think I will make a decision about what we will do. And it will be a very important decision. Whether it be large-scale sanctions, large-scale tariffs, or both. Or I will do nothing and say "this is your war," said Trump at the White House during a meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Trump noted that he would like to personally participate in a possible meeting between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, but acknowledged that "many believe it will lead to nothing."

According to Politico, Trump does not intend to pressure Moscow in negotiations, believing that it is Kyiv, dependent on Western aid, that should make concessions and agree to a deal, likely on Russia's terms.

The US president could quickly lose interest in the process if he does not see progress. A separate difficulty has been identified in the negotiations on security guarantees, including the issue of deploying mixed contingents of foreign troops on the territory of Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has long called for bilateral negotiations with Putin, claims that Moscow "is doing everything" to prevent the summit from taking place.
