Donald Trump said he had spoken to Vladimir Putin after the White House summit and hoped to end the war, but a meeting between Putin and Zelensky seems impossible.

US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he held talks with Vladimir Putin after the White House summit, which was also attended by Volodimir Zelensky. Although Trump believes they can end the war, the process appears stalled, as he acknowledged that the two leaders do not like each other. Trump expressed frustration over Russian attacks on Ukraine and emphasized that he has not discussed security guarantees for Ukraine, while reaffirming US support for Kiev. He also mentioned his desire to include China in denuclearization talks.
