During a joint press conference with Mr Zelensky after their negotiations, Mr Trump was asked about something that remains a few steps down the track: whether Russia will be made to help Ukraine rebuild once the war is over as part of any peace agreement.
“Did you discuss what responsibility Russia will have for any kind of reconstruction of Ukraine (as part of) an agreement?” a reporter asked him, referring to the President’s phone call with Putin.
“I did,” said Mr Trump.
“They’re going to be helping. Russia is going to be helping. Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds very strange.
“Putin was very generous in his feelings toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices. So a lot of good things came out of that call today.”
Mr Trump said he was on the phone with Putin for “about two-and-a-half hours”.
The remarks from Mr Trump and Mr Zelensky, after their meeting, were warm but light on details.
Speaking generally, Mr Trump said the meeting was “excellent” and they’d made “a lot of progress”. Mr Zelensky thanked him for a “warm and substantial discussion”, and said the two parties were “90 per cent” of the way to an agreement. He had used the same figure in comments before the summit.
The Ukrainian President said officials from both countries would hold subsequent meetings to finalise more details.
