President of the United States, Donald Trump has said that he did not want a “wasted meeting”, after a plan to have face-to-face talks with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, about the war in Ukraine, were put on hold.
The US president said on Tuesday that Moscow’s refusal to cease fighting along the current front line, was a key sticking point.
Key differences between United States and Russian proposals for peace became increasingly clear this week, appearing to have dashed chances of a summit.
