Trump claims Ukraine war 'very close' to settlement with Russia

dw.com —

President Donald Trump said Thursday that a "very big" agreement with Russia to end the Ukraine war is in the works, following an unscheduled White House meeting with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev. Trump told reporters the conflict is "very close to being settled" and that the deal could involve "all of Europe," though he declined to share details. He also said he had not met with Ukrainian officials present at the White House that day. Trump has repeatedly promised a swift end to the war since before his presidency. The announcement coincided with an event honoring First Lady Melania Trump for brokering a six-day ceasefire in Oleshky, attended by delegations from both Russia and Ukraine.
