2:24Now PlayingPresident Trump said Vladimir Putin "wants to end the war" — while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared the Russian president "not ready" for peace. "I think President Putin wants to end the war, or I wouldn't be talking this way," Trump said. "I think he wants to end the war. I spoke to him yesterday for two and a half hours. We went through a lot of details, he wants to get it ended, I think that President Zelensky wants to get it ended, now we have to get it done."
Zelensky, however, said moments later: "Putin is not really, I think, not ready, but I think I'm confident that with your help, we can stop this war."
