WASHINGTON, Oct 17 (The African Portal) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Washington for talks with US President Donald Trump seeking Tomahawk missiles. The talks come after Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to hold another summit in Hungary
Russian President Vladimir Putin convened a meeting of Russia’s powerful Security Council following a phone call with US President Donald Trump, Russian news agencies reported.
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov reportedly said Putin provided a detailed briefing to Security Council members about the conversation with Trump.
After Thursday’s call, Trump said he would meet Putin in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss ways to end the war in Ukraine.
During the call, Putin told Trump that supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine would harm the peace process and damage US-Russia ties.
Since taking office in January, Trump has regularly threatened action against Russia, only to delay those steps after talks with Putin.
Their meeting in Alaska in August failed to produce a decisive breakthrough.
