"Trump's frustration with the conflict has surfaced repeatedly in the nine months since he returned to office, but with his latest comments he edged back in the direction of pressing Ukraine to give up on retaking land it has lost to Russia. "Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts," Trump said in a Truth Social post not long after hosting Zelenskyy and his team for more than two hours of talks."
"Later, soon after arriving in Florida, where he's spending the weekend, Trump urged both sides to "stop the war immediately" and implied that Moscow keep territory it's taken from Kyiv. "You go by the battle line wherever it is - otherwise it's too complicated," Trump told reporters. "You stop at the battle line and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it.""
Trump has repeatedly expressed frustration with the Ukraine conflict since returning to office, and his recent statements urged an immediate ceasefire and acceptance of current lines. He posted that enough blood has been shed and that both sides should stop where they are, letting history decide. After hosting Zelenskyy for talks, Trump told reporters to stop at the battle line and for both sides to go home. In prior weeks he showed growing impatience with Putin and briefly expressed openness to helping Ukraine win back lost territory, despite earlier insisting Kyiv must concede land. Zelenskyy called for a ceasefire and negotiations and said leaders should stop where they are before speaking.
