Descripción:

US President Donald Trump has signalled he will make a "major" statement on Ukraine on Monday, amid what appears to be his increasing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The US president seemed irritated by Moscow’s lack of action towards a ceasefire in Ukraine, telling reporters on Sunday that "Putin … talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening". He also said that "sophisticated" military equipment will be heading to Ukraine, including Patriot air defence missiles. Trump will meet Nato chief Mark Rutte today at the White House, and US special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is in Kyiv this week for talks. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that it is "very important" that the US "continues mediation efforts as part of Russian-Ukrainian settlement".
