Russian President Vladimir Putin at his upcoming meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump will probably seek, as it happened before, to solve the Ukraine issue without having Kyiv at the negotiating table, that’s according to U.S. Senator Rob Portman who spoke at the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing June 26.
One of the issues of concern ahead of the Trump-Putin summit Senator Rob Portman named “President Putin asking to make decisions about Ukraine without at the table,” which has been the approach the Russian president “has taken in the past,” Senator Portman said, addressing U.S. State Department Assistant Secretary on European and Eurasian Policy Wess Mitchell, Voice of America reported.
