There could be a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin "almost immediately" after the Russian president’s summit with Donald Trump, the US president has said.
Speaking after a round of virtual meetings with European leaders and Zelenskyy, Trump told reporters: "If the first one goes okay, we’ll have a quick second one.
"I would like to do it almost immediately, and we’ll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelenskyy and myself, if they’d like to have me there."
He also acknowledged the success of Friday’s summit was not guaranteed and a second meeting may not take place, saying there would be "severe consequences" if Putin doesn’t agree to stop the war after the summit.
