Kremlin supports potential meeting between Trump and Putin to discuss Ukraine war
The Kremlin has expressed support for a potential meeting between U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated there are no conditions for these talks, which Trump indicated are aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. Trump has previously criticized U.S. aid to Ukraine and praised Putin's military actions. Ukrainian officials are concerned that U.S. support may decrease under Trump, which could jeopardize their defense against Russia's invasion. Ukraine is set to receive $2 billion in military aid following a meeting of over 50 countries supporting its efforts. Additionally, Ukraine has received funds from frozen Russian assets as part of a G7 initiative to provide financial aid.
