Zelensky Ready, Putin Needs a Deal: Trump
Donald Trump recently stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is ready for a peace agreement. He urged Putin to negotiate with Ukraine, accusing Russia of waging a "foolish war." Trump also warned that if the war does not end soon, the U.S. might impose strict economic sanctions and tariffs on Russia.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said, “I believe Putin wants to negotiate. From what I’ve heard, Putin wants to meet with me, and we may meet soon. I am ready to meet immediately. The devastation on the battlefield must be stopped now.”
Heavy Losses in the War: Millions of Soldiers Dead

He revealed that Russia has lost approximately 800,000 soldiers so far, which is a significant loss for any nation. Ukraine, too, is grappling with substantial casualties.
America’s Stern Warning
Trump made it clear that if the war does not end soon, the U.S. will take strong actions against Russia. He hinted at imposing tariffs, taxes, and sanctions on goods sold by Russia to the U.S. and its allied nations. This signals that the U.S. is preparing to increase economic pressure on Russia.
Hope for Peace Talks
