Trump urges Zelensky to accept peace deal with Russia

US President Donald Trump again urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to reach a peace deal with Russia, warning that if Kyiv lacks the will to end the war, "things are going to end very badly." Trump said he wants Ukraine to sign an agreement, blaming the "immense hatred" between Zelensky and Putin for blocking a settlement. He noted the US and Europe have spent heavily on aid, adding that Europe is tired of the conflict and that the situation will worsen without a deal. The remarks follow Trump's recent fuel purchase from Russia and sanctions relief, while Zelensky has complained of delays in Patriot missiles and restricted satellite access. US envoy Steve Witkoff will present a Ukrainian proposal in St. Petersburg on Wednesday.
