Advisor to the President of the United States on national security issues John Bolton has said that the meeting of the leaders of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, will not be possible until Russia returns the detained Ukrainian ships and their crew.

I do not see the circumstances in the foreseeable future so that such a meeting could take place, Bolton was quoted by the American media.

He explained that the meeting would not be possible until the Russian side returns the ships and sailors detained during the incident in the Kerch Strait to Ukraine.
