U.S. President Donald Trump says Russia should agree to a deal to end its war with Ukraine, speaking at the Group of Seven (G7) leaders meeting in Évian, France. Multiple outlets report that Trump adds he spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier in the day and called the meeting “very good,” describing it as productive. After the Zelensky meeting, Trump publicly urged Moscow to negotiate a peace arrangement.
Several reports also connect Trump’s comments to broader G7 discussions on Ukraine. ABC Australia and The Moscow Times state that G7 leaders agree to intensify pressure on Russia, though they do not attribute specific new measures to Trump’s proposal in the excerpts provided. The Cyprus Mail notes Trump is vague on what concrete steps or pressure mechanisms he would support, saying there were few details on any additional actions.
Across the accounts, the central message is that Trump calls for a negotiated end to the fighting, while the details of how this would align with G7 efforts to pressure Russia remain limited in the available reporting.
