US President Donald Trump has learned "interesting things" about Russia's war against Ukraine. He promised to reveal them in the near future, the American leader made this statement during a briefing at the White House.

Trump responded intriguingly when asked whether he had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week.

"I don't want to… I have learned things that will be very interesting. I think, in the next few days, you'll find out," the US president said.

Trump was also asked about the possible consequences if a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy is not announced soon.

"We’re going to see what happens, we're going to see what they do. I’m watching this very closely," the American president said, reiterating his point that the deaths of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers in the war need to stop.

Trump 'very disappointed' with Putin

Earlier today, US President Donald Trump again stated that he is "very disappointed" with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has still refused to agree to a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and has instead intensified attacks on Ukraine.

"I'm very disappointed in him. He and I always had a great relationship. I'm very disappointed. Thousands of people are dying. They’re not Americans that are dying, but they’re Russians and they’re Ukrainians. And there are thousands, and it’s a war that makes no sense," Trump said.

Previously, the US president warned that Russia would face very serious consequences if Putin did not agree to meet with Zelenskyy.

The deadline Trump set for Putin regarding a meeting with Zelenskyy expired on September 1.

However, the Russian President still did not agree to meet with the Ukrainian President. On the contrary, Russia has intensified drone attacks on Ukraine.
