President Donald Trump expressed his disappointment with
Russia for launching missile attacks while a peace deal was being negotiated
between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy.
On Wednesday, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One,
Trump addressed a variety of topics, including the peace talks between Russia
and Ukraine. Trump stated that he was still considering whether he would attend
the peace negotiations with Ukraine scheduled for Thursday in Istanbul.
"He would like me to be there, and it's a
possibility," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, referring to
Russian President Vladimir Putin. "I don't know if he would be there if I
wasn't there. We'll find out."
Trump had previously stated that he would visit Istanbul for
the talks as part of his trip to the Middle East this week. He departed for
Qatar on Wednesday and will arrive in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday.
