US President Donald Trump has ruled out his wife's participation in trilateral talks on Ukraine — shortly before, Melania Trump said she had secured a ceasefire in Oleshky, Kherson region, the website infohub.kz reports.
Journalists asked the White House chief whether the first lady could be included among the participants in the upcoming trilateral talks on Ukraine.
"No, but it's not the worst idea I've ever heard," Trump replied.
Earlier, Melania Trump said she had secured an agreement between Russia and Ukraine on a temporary halt to hostilities in Oleshky. The White House released the statement.
Recall that US President Donald Trump previously spoke of a swift end to the conflict in Ukraine.
During talks in Oslo on October 21, Volodymyr Zelensky raised the possibility of a trilateral meeting of the leaders of the United States, the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Vladimir Putin, for his part, said Russia was ready to return to trilateral talks on Ukraine. According to him, the parties should discuss security issues after peace agreements.
Today, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States are planned for November in Abu Dhabi.
