Trump Reports Progress in Russia, Ukraine Peace Efforts


(MENAFN) On Sunday, US President Donald Trump announced that substantial advancement has been achieved toward concluding the Russia-Ukraine conflict following his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"We covered somebody would say 95%. I don't know what percent, but we have made a lot of progress on ending that war, which is really certainly the most deadly war since World War Two, probably the biggest war since World War Two," he stated.

Trump mentioned that the remaining aspects of the peace framework could be settled in "a few weeks" if negotiations proceed "really well."

He acknowledged that one or two "very thorny issues" persist, including disputes over territory seized during the fighting.

The US president further explained that he had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin about Ukraine’s post-war recovery, noting that Moscow intends to assist, "including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

"Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding," Trump added.

Trump also expressed his readiness to address Ukraine’s parliament to help move the peace process forward.

"If it would help save 25,000 lives a month...I would certainly be willing to do that," he said.
