U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Thursday that a meeting was being arranged between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, the U.S. president-elect gave no timeline for when the meeting might take place.

That is according to Reuters, Ukrinform reports.

"He (Putin – ed.) wants to meet, and we are setting it up," Trump said in remarks before a meeting with Republican governors at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

The U.S. president-elect repeated: "President Putin wants to meet. He has said that even publicly and we have to get that war over with. That's a bloody mess”.

As Ukrinform reported, earlier this week, Donald Trump said that Putin wants to meet with him, and this meeting, according to him, could take place after the inauguration. At the same time, Trump's nominee for special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, expressed hope that agreements to end the war could be reached within 100 days of the new administration.
