U.S. President Donald Trump said he has had “good conversations” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to Reuters, as reported by Ukrinform, Trump made the remarks in an interview with Fox News.

“I do have conversations with him (Putin – ed.), and I do have conversations with President Zelensky, and good conversations,” the U.S. President said.

At the same time, he noted that “the hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky is ridiculous. It's crazy. And hate is a ⁠bad thing. Hate is a bad thing when you're trying to settle something, but it'll happen,” Trump added.

He also said his administration is working toward resolving the Russia-Ukraine war. “We're working on the Russia situation, Russia and Ukraine, and hopefully ⁠we're going to get it,” President Trump stated.
