Trump says the best way forward is "to go directly to a Peace Agreement" without a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine
In a post on his social media platform, President Trump said that the best way to move forward and end the war between Ukraine and Russia is "to go directly to a Peace Agreement" without any form of a ceasefire.
"It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump touted that Friday's meeting in Alaska was successful and discussed his overnight phone call with President Zelenskyy and European allies.
In his interview with Bret Baier yesterday, Trump said he wouldn't be happy if he walked away from the summit without some form of a ceasefire deal.
"I'd like to see a ceasefire. I wouldn't be thrilled if I didn't get it. But everyone says you're not going to get the ceasefire, it'll take place on the second meeting. The second meeting is going to be very, but I'm not going to be happy with that. So, we'll see what happens. I'm going to be, I won't be happy if I walk away without some form of a ceasefire. Now, I say this, and I've said it from the beginning, this is really setting the table today," Trump said in Friday's interview.
