Trump says Ukraine should ‘stop at the battle lines' and end fighting with Russia

US President Donald Trump said Sunday that Ukraine should “stop at the battle lines” and end its war with Russia, suggesting that Kyiv accept the current territorial situation as the basis for future negotiations.

Speaking to reporters as he returned to Washington, Trump said he had a “cordial” meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday and denied reports that he had urged Kyiv to cede the entire Donbas region to Moscow.

“No, we never discussed it,” he said. “What they should do is just stop at the lines where they are — the battle lines.”
