Details: Leavitt recalled Trump saying that he is "open to" participating in a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin "if it comes to that".

"But he wants both leaders and both sides to come to the table. And we saw them do that today at President Trump's request," Leavitt added.

The White House spokeswoman repeated that the US administration is in favour of ending the war as soon as possible.
