Xinhua News Agency reported that Trump told the media in the Oval Office of the White House on Thursday (December 18) : "They (the negotiating parties) are close to reaching certain results, but I hope Ukraine will act quickly." I hope Ukraine will act quickly because Russia is right there. You should know that every time they spend too much time, Russia will change its mind.
