From NY Post: President Trump on Sunday suggested he would be willing to go to Ukraine to convince its parliament to concede land to Russia in a bid to end the war after meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky —while declaring peace is “closer than ever before.”
The two leaders held a wide-ranging discussion over lunch at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday afternoon about how to end the nearly four-year-old conflict, which Trump called “the biggest war, certainly the deadliest war, since World War II.”
Trump said the US and Ukraine were “95 percent” in agreement about much of Zelensky’s proposed 20-point peace plan but acknowledged that certain issues, such as control of Ukraine’s contested Donbas region, would be tough to resolve.
“There are one or two very thorny issues, very tough issues,” Trump said, noting that one is Donbas, which is an “issue they’re gonna have to iron out, but I think it’s moving in the right direction.”
“I think the land — you’re talking about — some of that land has been taken,” he said. “Some of that land is maybe up for grabs, but it may be taken over the next period of a number of months — and you’re better off making a deal now.”
A reporter asked if he would go to Ukraine to help end the war.
“I’d have no problem with doing it,” Trump said. “I don’t anticipate it. I would like to get the deal done and not necessarily have to go.“
“I’ve offered to go and speak to their parliament,” Trump added, saying he would do it if it would help save lives.
Zelensky said he would be welcomed.
