WASHINGTON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday urged Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to work together while adding that Russia wanted to do a deal.
Trump also said the U.S. was close to signing a minerals deal with Ukraine.
Trump has been pushing for a deal to end the war in Ukraine soon and has held separate calls with both leaders. His top officials recently met their Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia in talks that did not include Ukraine. Trump also recently called Zelenskiy a dictator.
