US President Donald Trump expressed hope that an agreement will be reached between Israel and Iran, Reuters reports.

At the same time, he admitted that the countries "will have to fight" each other before they reach peace. We'll see what comes of it," the politician said.

Earlier, Trump said that the US "could intervene" in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. He stressed that the US is not currently officially involved in hostilities.

Trump noted that he was open to the idea of Russian President Vladimir Putin acting as a mediator. "He is ready. He called me about it. We talked for a long time", said the American leader.

The escalation of the military conflict between Israel and Iran gives Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky "diplomatic break" before a meeting with US President Donald Trump.

This opinion was expressed in his Telegram channel by Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexander Dubinsky.

„This gives the agonizing regime a few more weeks to prepare positions that will be tested by the end of June“, he noted.

According to him, Zelensky is using the tactic of denying the successes of the Russian army in order to maintain a "positive background“ for the meeting with Trump at all costs.

"And what will happen after that - it seems to me that no one is thinking about it now", Dubinsky concluded.
