Donald Trump again raised Kyiv ceding territory to Russia in a White House meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, then closed by saying the sides should try to end things on the current line, according to people familiar. Zelenskyy, who sought Tomahawk missiles, left dissatisfied. After a two-hour call with Vladimir Putin, Trump said he thinks Putin wants to end the war, even as a U.S. special envoy said Russia aims to take all of Donbas. European figures, including Poland’s Donald Tusk, urged against pressuring Ukraine, while other insiders downplayed reports of a shouting, expletive-laced clash.
