Trump says Ukraine must want peace with Russia

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

President Donald Trump said Ukraine must take the initiative to settle its nearly four-year war with Russia, arguing Moscow's military strength and territorial gains leave Kyiv at a disadvantage. Trump told reporters Russia is a "big machine" that keeps grinding forward, and he questioned the value of US aid, saying Washington has received nothing in return. His envoy Steve Witkoff met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Oslo on Tuesday. Trump has also eased sanctions on Russia, waiving restrictions under the Graham Act, and has expressed frustration with Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries. The moves have raised concerns about US leverage and Kyiv's ability to sustain its military operations.
