Trump Says Putin and Zelenskiy Want Peace as He Moves to End War
Former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed interest in ending the war in Ukraine during separate phone calls with him on Wednesday.
Following these conversations, Trump instructed top U.S. officials to begin discussions aimed at resolving the conflict. This comes after his defence secretary suggested that Ukraine might need to reconsider its NATO ambitions and territorial claims, signalling a major shift in U.S. policy on the war.
After speaking with Putin for over an hour, Trump said the Russian leader wants a ceasefire and a lasting resolution rather than a temporary truce that could lead to renewed fighting.
“He wants it to end. He doesn’t want a situation where they stop now and resume fighting six months later,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
“I think we’re on track for peace. Putin wants peace. Zelenskiy wants peace. And I want peace. I just want the killing to stop.”
