Trump urges Ukraine and Russia to reach agreement before winter

Following talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, US President Donald Trump stated his conviction that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to negotiate an end to the conflict. Speaking after a telephone conversation with Putin, Trump urged both Kyiv and Moscow to make a deal to stop hostilities before winter.

Zelensky described the discussion with Trump as "positive and productive," confirming that both Ukraine and the United States aim to conclude what he termed an "absurd war" in the coming months. While Trump emphasized that both leaders must reach a mutual compromise, Ukrainian officials continue to stress that any future agreement must safeguard Ukraine's territorial integrity and halt Russian aggression.
