Trump ‘frustrated’ with Zelenskyy, demands concluding peace deal

US President Donald Trump said he was "frustrated" with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“Zelenksyy he has to get on the ball, and he has to get a deal done,” Trump told Politico.

At the same time, Trump stated that, in his opinion, Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to negotiate an end to the war.

“I think Putin is ready to make a deal,” he said.

Trump has expressed this opinion before.

When asked what exactly was preventing Zelenskyy from reaching a peace agreement, Trump declined to provide detailed explanations but emphasized that the Ukrainian leader was not showing sufficient willingness to negotiate.

“It’s unthinkable that he’s the obstacle. You don’t have the cards. Now he’s got even less cards,” Trump stated.
