US chairperson Donald ruff said on lord's day that a trade to terminate the Russia-Ukraine war was getting “closer,” but also described “one of two very thorny issues” that remain, as his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, hailed the talks.
Addressing a joint press conference with Zelensky after talks at his Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, Trump described the meeting as “terrific” and said that the agreement was “a lot closer”.
"We had a terrific meeting. We discussed a lot of things. As you know, I had an excellent phone call with President Putin... And I do think we're getting a lot closer," Trump told reporters.
The Republican leader declined to put the agreed-upon terms for security guarantees in percentages but went on to say that it could be “close to 95%”.
He acknowledged that the fate of the eastern Donbas region, which Russia has demanded Ukraine surrender, remained an outstanding issue.
"It's unresolved, but it's getting a lot closer. That's a very tough issue, but one that I think will get resolved," Trump told reporters in response to a question about the Donbas.
Asked what the "thorniest" issue was left to resolve, Trump said it was land.
"You're better off making a deal now," he said, adding that Ukraine has been "very brave... And done tremendous damage", but "it's time to end" the conflict.
