Trump says Russia 'should make a deal' with Ukraine
US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that "Russia should make a deal" to end its war against Ukraine, after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the G7 summit in France.
Trump said he "had a meeting" with Zelensky at the summit in the spa town of Evian-les-Bains and more talks were planned later in the day, as the G7 group of leading world powers seeks to increase pressure on Moscow to end more than four years of fighting.
He pointed to the high casualties on both sides in the conflict, a toll he described as "ridiculous".
Trump added: "Admit the whole thing is ridiculous. So, yeah, I'm going to do whatever I can."
Zelensky said on Monday he had suggested to Trump that he could meet Putin in the United States, arguing that the Kremlin strongman could find such an offer "harder to refuse" than a previous offer for talks at the G7.
