Trump sounded positive on Monday as he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House, just two days after his summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Alaska. "I think President Putin will make peace. I think President Zelensky will make peace. We'll see if they can get along," Trump said.

After talks between the US and Russian presidents failed to reach a deal on ending the Ukraine war, Volodymyr Zelensky said Vladimir Putin is "complicating the situation" by refusing to a ceasefire.
