Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "shouldn't have allowed" war in his country to happen.

President Donald Trump sought to dial up pressure on President Vladimir Putin to negotiate a deal to end Russia’s war on Ukraine by indicating he’s seeking to partner with China to try to reach a settlement.

Putin has said repeatedly that he is prepared to negotiate an end to the war, which first began in 2014, but that Ukraine would have to accept the reality of Russian territorial gains, which are currently about 20% of its land. He also refuses to accept Ukraine joining Nato, the military alliance of Western countries.
