"Ukraine's strikes deep inside Russia constitute an escalation. But it is an escalation that could lead to the end of the war," US leader Trump said during a meeting with Zelenskyy, Kyiv Post reports.
During the meeting, Trump said relations with Zelensky had improved since their tense exchange at the White House earlier this year.
“We have developed a good relationship with Zelensky. From the Oval Office to now,” Trump said.
Speaking about Russia’s war against Ukraine, Trump said he had expected it to be easier to resolve.
“We’ve settled a lot of wars. And this one is the one that I thought maybe would be the easiest,” Trump said.
He added that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelensky have made negotiations difficult.
“Putin’s a difficult character, and this guy’s a difficult character. It’s not the easiest thing. It is a lot of commitment,” Trump said.
