"What I say is they should stop right now at the battle lines, go home, stop killing people and be done, the US president said, adding that it would be difficult to negotiate details of a final resolution. Asked about what would happen to Donbas, which has seen most of the fighting, Trump said: Let it be cut the way it is. It's cut up right now I think 78 percent of the land is already taken by Russia."
"Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last week and said there is a chance to conclude the conflict quickly if flexibility is shown. On Sunday, Zelenskyy called on Trump to apply more pressure to Putin, likening the Russian president to the Palestinian group Hamas. Putin is something similar but more strong than Hamas, Zelenskyy told NBC News."
President Trump called for an immediate freeze of fighting along current battle lines and urged both sides to 'go home' and stop killing people. He suggested leaving the Donbas front line as it stands, saying about 78 percent of the land is already taken by Russia and that territorial details can be negotiated later. Ukraine insists on reclaiming all its land, including Crimea and other occupied areas. Trump previously said Ukraine could win militarily and recapture territories. He is set to meet Vladimir Putin in Hungary. Zelenskyy urged Trump to apply more pressure to Putin and compared Putin to Hamas.
