Trump pitches peace deal as Ukraine faces territorial losses

US President Donald Trump is preparing Ukraine for territorial losses as part of a potential agreement to end Russia's war, stating Ukraine will have a "somewhat different shape" in a "60 Minutes" interview. He reiterated his expectation of a near-term resolution. Trump cited "hatred" between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin as the main obstacle, adding that Russia was treated "very disrespectfully" at their first meeting. He declined to say whom he trusts more and defended a recent sanctions exemption for Russian diesel sales. Russia claims occupied eastern territories, the remaining Donbas region, and Crimea, while Ukraine cites its constitutional territorial integrity. Trump has promised to end the war since his second term began in early 2025, previously claiming he could do so within 24 hours.
