Reuters. US President Donald Trump, who has struggled throughout his presidency to end Russia's war in Ukraine despite campaign boasts that he could end it in a day, said Zelenskiy is the main impediment to resolving the four-year-old war.
Trump has frequently criticized both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelenskiy but seemed more downbeat once again on the Ukrainian president.
In an exclusive interview with Reuters Trump said Putin is "ready to make a deal." Asked what the hold up is, Trump said simply: "Zelenskiy".
“We have to get President Zelenskiy to go along with it", he said.
