Donald Trump said a meeting  has been set up between  him and Russian President Vladimir  Putin.

The US president-elect  did not give a date for the  meeting.
"He wanted a meeting and we  arranged it," he said at his Mar-a-Lago  hotel in  Florida.
The Russian news agency Tass  quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov  as saying that the US  had not yet  officially requested a  meeting.
Trump pledged to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine  shortly after  taking office on  January 20 and expressed  skepticism about US military and financial support for  Kiev. "President Putin wants to  meet with the Americans," he said  Thursday.
"He's said  it publicly and we have to  end this war." This is a  real loss."
Trump has  appointed Keith Kellogg, a former national security adviser and retired  U.S. Army lieutenant general, as his special envoy  for Ukraine and Russia for his second  administration.
Kellogg outlined his ideas for how the  United States could end the war in a research paper published by the America First  Institute for Policy  Studies, a pro-Trump think  tank, last  April.
He proposed that Ukraine  receive additional U.S. aid only if it  agrees to participate in peace talks with  Moscow. The newspaper suggests, however, that if Moscow  refuses to  participate, the  United States will continue its aid to  Ukraine.
After Trump's  victory in  the November election, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he believed  that with Trump as president, the war would "end  faster" than  otherwise.
He said the two  men had a "constructive exchange"  over the phone,  but did not say whether Trump had  asked questions about possible  negotiations with Russia.
