U.S. President Donald Trump told Ukraine¡¯s president on Tuesday that he hoped to see a resolution to the country¡¯s crisis but stopped short of publicly endorsing a 2015 accord calling for Russia¡¯s exit from eastern Ukraine.

Trump sat down in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko for talks that were officially called a drop-by visit after the Ukrainian leader¡¯s separate session with Vice President Mike Pence.

With TV cameras rolling, Trump said ¡°a lot of progress has been made¡± between the two countries and that the two had ¡°very, very good discussions.¡±
