‘Working tirelessly to end savage conflict in Ukraine’, says Donald Trump

“Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians,” Trump said during his 1st address to the Congress this term, reading from what he claimed was a letter from Zelensky. “My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.”

“Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you,” Zelensky’s letter reads, Trump says.

Trump also stated that he has been in discussions with Russian officials and has received “strong signals” that they, too, are prepared to seek peace. “Wouldn’t that be beautiful?” he asked the crowd. “It’s time to stop this madness. It’s time to halt the killing. It’s time to end the senseless war.”
