Trump also added that he had spoken repeatedly with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The latter, he said, offered help in the conflict between Iran and Israel, but the head of the White House asked him for "help on Russia."
Okay, I said, do me a favor, help us with Russia, not with Iran, but he (Putin — ed.) was very nice. We will talk (with Zelenskyy — ed.) about it, we will talk. I think progress is being made.
