as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump said that teams are "getting a lot closer, maybe very close" to achieving a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia after speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin and having a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Florida on Sunday.

"We had a terrific meeting. We discussed a lot of things. As you know, I had an excellent phone call with President Putin that lasted for over two hours. We discussed a lot of points, and I do think we're getting a lot closer," Trump said.
