Trump says Putin and Zelenskiy want to end the war but "don't know how to get there"

President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday that the United States is passing intelligence to Ukraine and coordinating with Kyiv and Moscow to stop the war. He said Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy both want an end to the conflict, while noting intense mutual hostility between them. Meanwhile, Russia’s defense ministry claimed its forces hit two cargo ships carrying goods for military and civilian use near Mykolaiv, plus a facility linked to missile and drone production and a warehouse in the Kyiv region; Reuters said it could not confirm the report. Trump’s Sunday announcement of a ceasefire tied to energy preceded the strikes. Trump also sidestepped whether money from a Russian diesel deal, criticized by lawmakers over possible violation of U.S. import limits, could buy more bombs, saying it was not intended for the United States.
