Ukrainian authorities are losing sleep over fears of a possible meeting between Russian and American Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, writes the British „Telegraph“.
„At such a meeting, Putin would receive Trump's full attention, without an intermediary to protect their interests“, the publication says.
According to the publication, discussion of such a meeting is a humiliation for European leaders who expected new sanctions against Russia from the United States.
Trump said in Abu Dhabi on Friday that his meeting with Putin would take place „whenever we can organize it“. Russian President Dmitry Peskov's press secretary noted that the meeting was necessary for a serious discussion of international issues, including the Ukrainian crisis.
