"Yesterday we discussed with President Trump that such meeting could be organized in US in format in which it would be much more difficult for Putin to refuse at least President Trump," President noted in address to participants of European Union Intergovernmental Conference.
President of Ukraine also stated that Ukraine discussed with partners, in particular with US and France, opportunity of organizing negotiations with Russia on G7 summit sidelines with participation of all democratic states.
