Trump told Putin he wants swift end to Ukraine war and US-Russia ties restored, Kremlin says
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he had a "great" conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier in the week, claiming Putin wants to make a deal to end the war in Ukraine.
- U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner recently returned from a diplomatic swing through Moscow and Kyiv, where they discussed potential proposals to bring the war to a close.
- Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One that the primary holdup involves two people who hate each other, referring to Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
- "He is wanting to make a deal, and if Zelenskiy is wanting to make a deal, that'd be very nice," Trump said while en route to Dallas for the Republican National Convention.
- Despite these diplomatic efforts, intelligence officials in the U.S., Ukraine, and Europe remain skeptical that Putin is seriously interested in ending the ongoing war, now in its fourth year.
