Trump says Zelenskiy, not Putin, is stalling peace deal

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, rather than Russian leader Vladimir Putin, is the primary obstacle to reaching a peace agreement to end the conflict in Ukraine.

In an interview with Reuters, Trump expressed his belief that Moscow is ready for negotiations. "I think he (Putin) is ready to make a deal. I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal," Trump said.
