0:23Now PlayingDonald Trump urged Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskiy to show some “flexibility” as the US president accelerates his efforts to end the war in Ukraine and encourages the two leaders to hold a bilateral summit. #politics #russia #trump #ukraine #worldnews #us #putin #zelensky
“I hope President Putin is going to be good, and if he’s not, it’s going to be a rough situation,” Trump said Tuesday in an interview on Fox News. “I hope that Zelenskiy, President Zelenskiy, will do what he has to do. He has to show some flexibility also.”
Trump’s comments follow a whirlwind stretch as the US president pushes to bring Russia’s war against Ukraine — now in its fourth year — to an end. Trump held a summit in Alaska with Putin last week and talks at the White House with Zelenskiy and European allies on Monday.
