WASHINGTON, December 29. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump described his meeting with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky in Florida and a phone call earlier on Sunday with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, as excellent.

"Our meeting was excellent. We covered, somebody would say, 95% [of issues]. I don't know what percent, but we have made a lot of progress on ending that war," the US leader said at a joint press conference with Zelensky at his Mar-a-Lago residence.

"As you know, I had an excellent phone call with President Putin that lasted for over two hours. We discussed a lot of points," Trump recounted.

"I really believe we're probably <…> closer [to an agreement on Ukraine] <…> than ever before with both parties. I do think we're getting a lot closer, maybe very close," he added.
