Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump says Moscow deal could be next after talks with Putin and Zelensky
Donald Trump has said a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine could be next after he held talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky separately.
Trump was speaking immediately after announcing that he had signed a memorandum to bring an end to the Iran war.
Trump said he had “good conversations” with Putin and Zelensky on Sunday and that both leaders are open to “do something” about bringing an end to the war.
He made the remarks alongside French president Emmanuel Macron as he arrived in Evian-les-Bains in France for talks with G7 leaders.
The summit comes as Russian advances in Ukraine have slowed and Ukraine seeks more military funding from its allies, amid a barrage of attacks on Kyiv.
Meanwhile, a Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber plane crashed in Siberia’s Irkutsk region during a training flight, the Russian defence ministry said.
The nuclear-capable Tu-22 is a Soviet-era supersonic bomber that Russia has since used for combat missions in Syria and Ukraine.
