"We are working very hard to put an end to this war. I think we've made a lot of progress, and I think it's moving pretty quickly," Trump said.

Russia is ready to return to the negotiating table," Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"The current president (of the United States) has announced that he wants to achieve peace. By the way, we are too, and as soon as possible," he argued.
At the same time, according to Putin, Zelensky "stands on the way to achieving this goal." Although Moscow considers Zelensky an illegitimate president, it is ready to negotiate with "anyone" if Kiev has such a desire, Putin said at the same time.
