US President Donald Trump has claimed that the Ukrainian people supported the peace proposal rejected by Vladimir Zelensky.
Trump previously said that Zelensky was “losing” ground to Russia and urged him to hold elections, since his five-year presidential term expired in May 2024.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Thursday, Trump said he had thought the US was “very close” to brokering a deal between Russia and Ukraine.
“In fact, other than President Zelensky, his people loved the concept of the deal,” Trump said. “It’s a deal that would have stopped the killing of thousands of people every month,” he added.
Trump indicated that there was still no agreement on territory. “A little bit complicated because you’re cutting up land in a certain way. It’s not the easiest thing to settle,” he said. He refused to clarify if he was seeking “a Korea-like ceasefire.”
