Donald Trump has revealed that a meeting is being arranged between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The incoming US president gave no timeline for when the head-to-head might take place but has previously promised to end the war in Ukraine ‘in 24 hours’.

We have to get that war over with. That’s a bloody mess,” says U.S. president-elect about the Russian ruler’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

US President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday that Russian leader Vladimir Putin wanted to meet and that a rendezvous between the pair was being arranged.

President-elect Donald Trump said he is planning a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he wants to end the "bloody mess" of the Ukraine war.

President-elect Trump said late Thursday that a meeting is in the works with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss ending the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine. Why it matters: Trump said on the campaign trail that he would swiftly end the nearly three-year-old war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office.

Donald Trump said on Jan. 9 that Vladimir Putin wants to meet with him, and that preparations for a meeting are underway.
