President Trump said today that he thinks his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin will be “good,” but also suggested Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will not be in attendance for the peace talks.

Touching on Ukrainian anxieties that a direct meeting between Mr. Trump and Putin could marginalize Kyiv and European interests, Zelenskyy said: "Any decisions that are without Ukraine are at the same time decisions against peace. They will not bring anything. These are dead decisions. They will never work."
