After his call with Vladimir Putin earlier this week, US President Donald Trump privately told European leaders that the Russian leader does not want to end the war on Ukraine, according to a report.

Trump has made no effort to use his leverage to force Putin into a deal, and the Russian leader has "no desire" to see war end, says former V.P. Dan Quayle.

The president announced that “Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War.”
