US President Donald Trump will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, according to a White House official, ahead of a meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Trump has expressed frustration with Putin over the Russian leader's refusal to halt the fighting in Ukraine or meet with Zelenskiy face-to-face for peace talks.
Zelenskiy is expected to ask Trump for more advanced weaponry when they meet on Friday at the White House.
Plans for the Trump-Putin call were first reported by Axios.
