Trump said on Tuesday after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he believed that Kiev could recapture all of its land taken by Russia – which controls around one-fifth of the country – and that it should act now, with Moscow facing economic problems, Reuters reported.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow assumed the Trump administration maintained the political will to find a solution to the war, and that Russia was ready to engage in peace negotiations.
