Trump Calls on Putin and Zelensky to End Ukraine War Bloodbath': If They Don't, They're Stupid!'
"President Donald Trump bluntly warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on Tuesday that they must come together and put aside their abnormal hatred to agree to a peace deal, calling out the pair as stupid if they fail to end the bloodbath. The president's frustrations were made clear in a Q&A following his address at Davos where he repeated his past musing that, despite his perception before taking office, the Ukraine-Russia was was not the easiest to settle."
"And we're going to try getting a deal done. We're getting, I think, Steve, I think I can say that we're reasonably close now. What happens is oftentimes we'll have a deal with Russia, Russia is set and President Zelensky will not do it you saw that when he was in the oval office, I was not happy and then we'll have President Zelensky wants to make a deal and Putin doesn't want to make the deal, he added."
"Trump said: I believe they're at a point now where they can come together and get a deal done. And if they don't, they're stupid. He paused, then continued: That goes for both of them. And I know they're not stupid, but if they don't get this done, they are stupid. So I don't want to insult anyone. But you got to get this deal done. Too many people are dying. It's not worth it."
Donald Trump warned Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin to set aside abnormal hatred and agree to a peace deal, calling them 'stupid' if they fail to end the bloodbath. He characterized negotiations as a difficult balance, saying sometimes Russia is ready while Ukraine refuses and other times Ukraine wants a deal while Putin resists. He described the war as a bloodbath with thousands dying weekly and urged immediate stoppage, saying a deal appears possible and parties seem reasonably close. He referenced frustrations after a Davos Q&A and recalled an Oval Office instance where Zelensky declined a deal.
