President Trump said on "60 Minutes" that hatred between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin is a primary obstacle to ending the Russia-Ukraine war, now nearing its fifth year. Trump claimed he would have prevented the war and that a deal is close, citing personal rapport with both leaders. He also referenced "great disrespect" shown to Russia at their first meeting, without elaborating. Trump has faced criticism for recent actions, including an energy ceasefire announcement and a diesel deal with Russia, which drew bipartisan backlash and a sharp rebuke from Zelensky.
