CNN: Trump Frustrated He Hasn’t Ended the Russia-Ukraine War Quickly

TRANSCRIPT:

SANCHEZ: “Happening now. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff is in Moscow, apparently just emerging from meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Their sit-down comes only a few hours after Russia launched another deadly wave of strikes across Ukraine. And one day after the president made a rare public plea for Putin to halt attacks like this one, posting on social media, ‘Vladimir, stop!’ In a new interview with Time, Trump suggested a peace deal may be within reach, though to get it across the finish line, ‘Crimea will stay with Russia,’ a concession that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has flatly rejected, saying it violates Ukraine‘s constitution. CNN has also learned that behind closed doors, President Trump is frustrated that he hasn’t been able to end the war quickly, telling advisers that it’s been more difficult than he thought.”
