Trump says he may need to mediate between Zelensky and Putin amid their mutual hostility.

US President Donald Trump stated that arranging a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin is challenging due to their mutual hostility. Trump suggested he might need to mediate their discussions, expressing optimism for a meeting "relatively soon." Trump noted the conflict is tougher than expected, despite his claim of having "stopped seven wars." Zelensky is open to talks but rejects meeting in Russia, while Putin questions Zelensky's legitimacy. Moscow proposes negotiations if the "reality on the ground" is considered and offers an immediate ceasefire under certain conditions.
