Trump: Zelensky Must Be Flexible – Difficult Deal Possible with Putin

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky must show flexibility in negotiations, while not ruling out the possibility of a difficult deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump mentioned that he had a phone call with Putin and expressed hope for a trilateral meeting. "I hope his behavior will be good," he said, adding that "if not, then we will have a difficult situation... he may not want to reach an agreement."
