Hours after Zelensky-EU meet, Trump praises Putin, confirms plan to give Russia Ukrainian land? | USA

Pressed on Ukraine after talks with Volodymyr Zelensky in Berlin, President Donald Trump says his delegation is already in Europe working with multiple countries and that “they all want to see it end,” adding that even Vladimir Putin wants a “more normal way of life” and confirming he has spoken to the Russian leader recently. He signals support for an “Article‑5‑like” security guarantee for Ukraine without NATO membership, arguing that some territory is “already lost” and that the focus must be on preventing a renewed war, while conceding the process is “more difficult than anybody could have thought” amid deep personal animosity between the two presidents and staggering monthly casualties.
