US President Trump said on the 12th that he believes both Russia and Ukraine have agreed to the “energy cease-fire” he proposed, and Russia and Ukraine must reach an agreement to end the conflict. On the same day, before leaving the White House for Ohio, Trump told the media that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky must sit down and negotiate to end this “ridiculous war” and “we will help them reach an agreement.” He also said that Putin would rather reach an agreement than Zelensky. When asked if both Russia and Ukraine agreed to an “energy cease-fire,” Trump said, “They all agreed. Do you know why? Because I said they agreed”.
