Trump: Putin ready for peace
Updated 02.52 | Published 02.44
It is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, not Russia's Vladimir Putin, who is standing in the way of a peace agreement, claims US President Donald Trump.
In an interview with Reuters, Trump says that Putin is ready to make peace, almost four years after Russia invaded its neighboring country.
- I think he is ready to make a deal, I think Ukraine is less prepared to make a deal, Trump says.
When asked why the US-led negotiations between the countries have not yet resulted in a peace agreement, Trump replied:
- Zelenskyj.
Trump also says that he is prepared to meet the Ukrainian president at the World Economic Forum in Davos next week, but that there are no concrete plans for a meeting.
Zelensky has been clear that Ukraine will not agree to a peace agreement in which Russia gains control over the areas in Ukraine it annexed during the war.
