Trump Says He Had "Great Conversation" with Putin, but Putin and Zelenskyy "Hate Each Other"
Trump said Putin wants a deal to end the war as Russian strikes killed at least seven people in Kyiv and Sumy, officials said.
- On Wednesday, President Trump said he had a 'great conversation' with Russian President Vladimir Putin about ending the war in Ukraine, though the White House released no official summary of the call.
- Presidential envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv over the weekend, seeking to 'find a pathway to end this war.'
- The Russian readout claimed Trump linked peace to restoring U.S.-Russia relations, while Zelenskyy stated on Tuesday that the goal is a 'just, fair peace' ensuring Russia cannot resume attacks.
- Russia resumed attacks on Kyiv on Tuesday, killing two people, despite diplomatic outreach, as Trump characterized the conflict's primary obstacle as 'two people that hate each other.'
- Zelenskyy indicated he may meet with Trump later this month, though the president admitted his pledge to end the war by his first day in office was 'figurative' or an 'exaggeration.
