Washington, Feb 5 (IANS) US President Donald Trump has vowed to restore "peace" along the Russia=Ukraine border, the White House announced.
Trump had a "very good call" with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Saturday addressing "a variety of topics, including Ukraine's long-running conflict with Russia", the White House said in a statement.
"We will work with Ukraine, Russia, and all other parties involved to help them restore peace along the border," Trump said.
The White House also noted that the two leaders discussed "the potential for a meeting in the near future", The Hill magazine reported.
