'Hatred Between Zelensky and Putin Unfathomable,' Trump Says
Donald Trump plans trilateral talks to end the war after about 8,000 soldiers died in one week; Putin and Zelensky reject meeting terms, deepening conflict stalemate.
- On September 14, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump said in Morristown, New Jersey, that direct talks between Zelensky and Putin are unlikely due to unfathomable hatred.
- Trump's comments came after his mid-August meeting with Putin in Alaska, following which efforts to arrange further talks stalled due to rejected proposals and disputes concerning occupied regions.
- Trump said he initially expected easy negotiations but now believes he must lead talks as the two leaders refuse direct communication, urging Europe to toughen sanctions on Russia.
- He reported about 8,000 soldiers died this week, said, "I want to stop the killing," and U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed Congress's readiness for tougher sanctions.
- The impasse highlights stalled peace efforts amid ongoing casualties, entrenched animosity, and calls for stronger international sanctions to pressure Russia to negotiate.
