President Donald Trump said Thursday from the White House that he wants the war between Russia and Ukraine to end quickly.

"We want to end this war," said Trump, following a meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. "We want to end it quickly."

When asked by a reporter why Trump told Russian President Vladimir Putin to "STOP!" the deadly airstrikes, including one overnight, Trump said, "I was not happy with it. ...We're putting a lot of pressure on Russia."

A day earlier, Trump said Russia's war on Ukraine had become a "killing field" and appeared to blame Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky for rejecting a U.S.-brokered peace deal that purportedly included Ukraine allowing Russia to continue to keep the Crimea region.
