US President Donald Trump said it was disappointing that Ukraine was dissatisfied with the talks between Russia and the United States to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.

He was very disappointed, Trump told reporters as he signed new executive orders at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Tuesday.

The Ukrainians are upset that they have no place at the negotiating table. They had that place for three years. And long before that, everything could have been resolved very simply, the US president noted.

A half negotiator could have resolved this matter years ago—and without losing a lot of territory, lives, and cities that are in ruins, Trump added.
