US President Donald Trump, speaking during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Évian-les-Bains before the G7 summit on Sunday, revealed that he had held 'very good' phone calls the previous day with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Trump stated that after these talks, he sees a potential to 'do something' to end the war. 'I really think so. I think both are open to it,' Trump said. He emphasized his focus on ending the war in Ukraine, mentioning that 25,000 people, mostly soldiers, die every month in the conflict, which he said should not happen.
