British PM pledges continued support for Ukraine

Donald Trump, after leaving the White House for Mar-a-Lago, told us that Volodymyr Zelensky has refused to talk about a ceasefire and shows no willingness to negotiate peace. He criticized the Ukrainian leader for repeatedly attacking Putin, something he considered "inappropriate and wrong," and accused him of disrespecting his hosts. Asked whether Zelensky should step down, Trump said he doesn't care who rules Ukraine, but it must be someone willing to negotiate "seriously." "It's gotten out of hand," he said. "And he doesn't have the cards to play that game."

Trump: We look for peace, not a 10-year war. In order to resume talks, Zelensky must declare his desire for peace.

Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”
