US President Donald Trump says he would meet with Vladimir Putin without the Russian leader first sitting down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Asked by reporters in the Oval Office if Putin was required to meet Zelensky beforehand, Trump says: "No, he doesn't, no." "They would like to meet with me, and I'll do whatever I can to stop the killing," he adds.
