Trump says Putin wants a deal to end the war in Ukraine, accuses Zelenskyy of blocking peace talks

Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to see a settlement in the war in Ukraine, at least according to Donald Trump. “Russia wants to make a deal, but for some reason Zelenskyy doesn’t want to,” Trump says of his Ukrainian counterpart.

The US president caused a stir on Saturday when he suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should resign.

Trump now claims that Vladimir Putin is very keen to reach a settlement in the war, referring to a phone call between the two presidents last Friday. He accuses Zelenskyy of obstructing a peace deal.

I think he should hold an election. He could have resolved this matter on several occasions.

Recently, Donald Trump announced that the United States would import Russian diesel, a move that was not well received in Ukraine and led to a heated exchange between him and Zelensky.
