Trump believes a deal is already close
Trump was asked about the chances of successful talks to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
"I think they stand a chance. We've been trying. I've ended eight wars. All of them, I thought, were going to be maybe tougher than this one. But Zelenskyy and Putin hate each other, and it makes it very difficult. But I think we're getting very close to getting a settlement. Hundreds of thousands of people, mostly soldiers, have been killed. Last week, they lost 29,000 people. Last month, they lost 29,000 soldiers," the US leader said.
