Trump also confirmed on Monday that he would soon send his special envoy to Ukraine for Keith Kilog, who has been assigned to propose to stop the fighting.
The Trump is pressing to end the conflict rapidly, while Zilnsky is demanding tough security guarantees from Washington as part of any agreement with Russia.
