President Trump just provided an update on Russia-Ukraine peace talks.

Miraculously, he said that he believes “we have a deal with Russia.”

This is great progress. However, Zelensky still appears to be on the fence…

President Trump noted, “I thought it might be easier to deal with Zelensky. So far, it’s been harder, but that’s okay, it’s all right.”

Trump gives an update on the Russia/Ukraine peace negotiations!

He believes “Russia is ready”, and that they “have a deal”, now they just have to get Zelensky to agree.

He confirms that Putin has been easier to deal with than Zelensky.

In other words, Zelensky is dragging his feet, because he does not want to lose power. Zelensky is continuing to delay the end of this war, because once this war is over, Zelensky is a dead man, and he knows it.

Reporter: Are you going to be meeting with President Zelensky? He’s asked to meet with you this weekend. Will you be meeting with him?

Trump: I don’t know that he’s going to the funeral or not, but I just hope he gets this thing solved because we’re losing about—think of this 5,000. I was saying 2,500, and everyone was telling me that’s low. 5,000 soldiers are being killed every week, approximately. Think of that, every week, 5000 soldiers. But let’s say from 3,000 to 5,000 are being killed. They’re Russian and Ukrainian. They’re not Americans, but they’re Russian— but they’re people. And they’re humans. They’re human beings. They have families. They wave goodbye to their son, and then they get a call that the son’s no longer there.

It’s a vicious war, and if I can help solve it, you know we’re not losing our soldiers, but we’re losing soldiers, a lot of people. And if I can solve it because of a certain ability, that would be great. And if it doesn’t happen, I will say that I think Russia is ready. And a lot of people said Russia wanted to go for the whole thing. And I think we have a deal with Russia. We have to get a deal with Zelensky— and I hope that Zelensky— I thought it might be easier to deal with Zelensky. So far, it’s been harder, but that’s okay, it’s all right.

But I think we have a deal with both. I hope they do it, because I’m looking to save— and you know, we spent a lot of money, but this is about a lot of humanity. This is the worst— I get the pictures, the satellite pictures, I’ve never seen anything like it, of the fields after some of these battles, it’s horrible that it’s going for nothing. We would have never had this problem. You would have never had that war if I were president, I guarantee you that. And for four years you did have it.

Today, President Trump also warned Zelensky not to wait any longer, or risk losing his whole country.

From The New York Post:

President Trump issued a stark warning to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, saying Kyiv’s leader was in a “dire” situation and “can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country,” — hours before claiming without proof that Moscow is “ready” to end its war.

Trump, 78, was responding to Zelensky telling reporters Tuesday that “Ukraine will not legally recognize the [Russian] occupation of Crimea” — a key part of a US-proposed peace plan under discussion with Ukrainian, British and European officials in London Wednesday, and a condition that has long been a red line for Kyiv.

“This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion,” the president seethed on Truth Social.

In the Oval Office Wednesday, Trump claimed “I think Russia is ready” to agree to a peace deal, but questioned Ukraine’s readiness — despite Kyiv having signed on to a Trump-proposed cease-fire agreement more than a month ago.

“A lot of people said Russia wanted to go through the whole thing, and I think we have a deal with Russia, and we have to get a deal with Zelensky, and I hope that Zelensky, I thought it’s been so far, it’s been hard,” Trump said. “That’s okay, but, but I think we have a deal with both.”
