U.S. President Donald Trump said today that he is having “good talks” with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as he aims to resolve the war in Ukraine.
“We are working on the situation in Russia, Russia and Ukraine and hopefully we will get it done,” Trump said in an interview with the US Fox News network.
Trump said he did not want to reveal when he had last spoken to Putin.
“I have conversations with him, and I have conversations with President Zelensky, and good conversations,” he said, without specifying when the phone conversations with one leader or the other took place.
“The hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky is ridiculous. It is crazy. And hatred is a bad thing. Hate is a bad thing when you’re trying to settle something, but it’s going to be settled,” he said.
Trump has vowed to end the war that began with the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, but more than a year after taking office, the conflict continues.
