The hatred between Zelensky and Putin is incomprehensible, says Trump

Trump said he had managed to stop seven wars, but at the same time acknowledged that ending Russia's war against Ukraine had proved much more difficult than he had expected.

“I thought this would be easy for me. But it turned out to be difficult,” he said.

He cited the deep personal animosity between the leaders of the two countries as a key obstacle to peace.

“The hatred between Zelensky and Putin is incomprehensible,” Trump said.

This assessment made him doubt the effectiveness of direct negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow. When asked if he believed such negotiations were possible, Trump said, “I don't know. I think I'll have to speak for myself.”

When asked when such a conversation might take place, the president responded evasively, noting that it could happen relatively soon.

When asked whether the next step could be a trilateral summit, Trump noted that the format did not matter.

“There will be negotiations — whether you call it a summit or just a meeting, it doesn't matter. But I will probably have to participate. They hate each other so much that they can hardly talk to each other,” he said.
