At a G7 summit, US President Donald Trump says Russia should make peace with Ukraine after what he calls a “very good” meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Multiple outlets report that Trump’s comments prompt cautious optimism among G7 leaders that a peace agreement could be possible.
The reports describe the upbeat reaction as measured rather than definitive. One account adds that Zelenskiy told leaders, following the group meeting with Trump, that G7 participants agreed Russia is not winning the war. Other coverage frames the moment as part of broader efforts by European and US leaders to explore an end to the conflict, which is now in its fifth year.
Overall, the sources present a common picture: Trump’s remarks following his meeting with Zelenskiy shift the tone among some G7 leaders toward the prospect of diplomacy, while stopping short of announcing any concrete deal or agreed terms.
