US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he is committed to facilitating a peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow, despite the uncertainty over the possibility of face-to-face talks between Vladimir Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin.

He said this in an interview with CBS News.

«I think we're going to work it out. To be honest, I thought the Russian problem would be the easiest one I've ever dealt with, but it seems to be a little more difficult than the others,» Donald Trump said.

The US president noted that he was closely monitoring the actions of both leaders and discussing the situation with them.

«Something will happen, but they are not ready yet. But something will happen. We will do it,» he added.

Donald Trump explained that his diplomatic approach is to bring the leaders into one room and force them to make a deal in real time. He stressed that such a process requires patience, but, according to him, such negotiations have already «saved millions of lives».

He also recently stated that he had no specific message for Vladimir Putin regarding the war in Ukraine. According to him, the Russian leader will make his own decision, and the United States will act on it.

At the same time, the Russian president said that he would hold talks if the Ukrainian leader came to Moscow.
