Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis said Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin would be granted “immunity” and not detained, despite a warrant for his arrest, if peace talks were held in Switzerland .

The statement comes after President Donald Trump met on Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders at the White House, during which Trump called Putin. In a later post to social media, Trump said he was attempting to arrange a meeting between Putin and Zelensky, a trilateral meeting with himself, and then a multilateral talk with European leaders.
