WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he does not like what is occurring between Russia and Ukraine, a day after Russian crews seized Ukrainian vessels near Crimea.

"We do now not like what's going on both ways. And with any luck it will get straightened out," Trump advised newshounds as he left the White House.

Trump stated European leaders were working on the situation. "They're not thrilled. We're all working on it together," he said.

Russia on Monday overlooked Western calls to launch three Ukrainian naval ships and their crews it had fired on and captured close to Crimea at the weekend and accused Kiev of plotting with its Western allies to provoke a conflict.
