Trump says Putin is ready to make peace

It is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, not Russia's Vladimir Putin, who is standing in the way of a peace agreement, claims US President Donald Trump.

In an interview with Reuters, Trump says Putin is ready to make peace, nearly four years after Russia invaded Ukraine.

"I think he's ready to make a deal, I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal," Trump said.

When asked why the US-led negotiations between the two countries have not yet resulted in a peace agreement, Trump replied:

"Zelenskyy."

Trump further said he was prepared to meet the Ukrainian president at the World Economic Forum in Davos next week, but that there were no concrete plans for a meeting.

Zelenskyy has been clear that Ukraine will not agree to a peace agreement in which Russia gains control over areas it annexed during the war.
