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.

On the eve of critical White House talks, Donald Trump told Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky he could “end the war almost immediately” if Kyiv drops NATO ambitions and abandons Crimea.
