Five months into his presidency, Trump has failed to deliver on this issue.
President Donald Trump said he was “disappointed” from his call with Vladimir Putin on Thursday, adding that he failed to “make any progress” on ending the war in Ukraine.
Trump, who campaigned on ending the conflict within 24 hours of assuming office, conceded their discussion failed to yield any meaningful progress on a ceasefire.
“I’m very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin, because I don’t think he’s there,” Trump said. “I don’t think he’s looking to stop, and that’s too bad.”
Trump added that he plans to speak to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday morning, days after the U.S. confirmed it paused the shipments of some critical weapons to Kyiv, handing a win to Putin.
Earlier, Trump said he was “not happy” about the state of the war, conceding that he failed to move his Russian counterpart on the issue despite previously touting their relationship.
