US President Donald Trump said he believes Russia and Ukraine will ultimately reach a settlement deal to end their conflict, according to remarks reported by TASS.
Trump also once again acknowledged that he had underestimated the difficulty of settling the war, a point he has raised previously as negotiations over the conflict have dragged on longer than he initially anticipated.
A long-running push for a settlement
Trump has repeatedly voiced confidence that a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war is achievable, even as the negotiating process has proven more complex than early statements suggested. His latest comments continue that pattern, expressing optimism about an eventual deal while conceding the scale of the challenge involved.
No timeline or further detail on the substance of any prospective settlement was included in the reported remarks. Officials from Russia and Ukraine have not been reported as responding directly to Trump's latest comments.
