When a journalist asked what specific concessions Russia had made to "to the point where you're closer to peace", Trump replied that "Stopping the war. Stopping taking the whole country".
"Pretty big concession," he said.
Background:
- Earlier, Trump stated that he was "not happy" with Russian missile strikes on Kyiv, which claimed the lives of at least 12 people, and addressed the Kremlin's leader: "Vladimir, STOP!"
- Bloomberg reported that the US would also demand that Russia recognise Ukraine's right to maintain its own armed forces and defence industry as part of a broader peace agreement between Moscow and Kyiv.
