"Let it be cut the way it is, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday. It's cut up right now, he said, adding that you can leave it the way it is right now. They can negotiate something later on down the line, he said. But for now, both sides of the conflict should stop at the battle line go home, stop fighting, stop killing people."
"Zelenskyy had flown to Washington hoping to capitalise on Trump's growing frustration with Vladimir Putin after the US president's summit in Alaska failed to produce a breakthrough in the war. But the Ukrainian leader left empty-handed, failing to secure long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles after weeks of lobbying. The missiles would be the longest-range weapons in Ukraine's arsenal and would allow it to strike targets deep inside Russia, including Moscow, with precision."
Donald Trump urged an immediate halt to fighting in Ukraine by leaving the Donbas region as currently divided and stopping both sides at the battle line. He told reporters the area can remain as it is now and that negotiations can occur later, and he called for both sides to go home and stop killing people. The comments followed a tense White House meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which Zelenskyy failed to secure long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles. Trump spoke with Vladimir Putin and said they agreed to meet in Budapest. Two people briefed on the meeting said Trump pressed Zelenskyy to cede territory.
