US President-elect Donald Trump has made a new statement about plans to end the war in Ukraine and a possible meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Reuters reports.

Asked about his strategy for ending the war, Trump told Newsmax: “Well, there’s only one strategy, and it all depends on Putin. I can’t imagine he’s thrilled with how it turned out, because it didn’t go so well for him either.”
