US President Donald Trump said he might meet Russian President Vladimir Putin this month and dismissed Ukraine`s concern about being left out of US-Russian talks in Saudi Arabia on ending the Ukraine war, writes Reuters.

"Probably", Trump said as he ended a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach when asked if he still expected to meet with Putin before the end of the month. Briefing reporters on US-Russian talks in Riyadh earlier, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the two sides did not establish a date for a Trump-Putin summit to discuss Ukraine.

Trump spoke for the first time since a US delegation established a working dialogue with Russia about Ukraine during talks in Riyadh earlier in the day.

He said he was "much more confident" of a deal after the talks, adding "they were very good. Russia wants to do something. They want to stop the savage barbarianism". "I think I have the power to end this war, and I think it`s going very well," Trump said, chiding Ukraine for complaining it had been cut out of discussions.
