"Well I do have leverage, but I don't want to talk about leverage now" Trump said.

The American leader added that he is currently in talks with the Russian president.

"Based on the statements he made today, they were pretty positive, I think," he added.

Earlier, Russia's spokesman Ushakov said that Russia doesn't agree to a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine. 

As a reminder, in his evening address, Zelensky summarized the results of the talks between the delegations of Ukraine and the United States in Saudi Arabia.
