Donald Trump says "there is a lot of hatred between the two of them" over Ukraine-Russia leaders

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, President Donald Trump said the U.S. continues sharing intelligence with Ukraine and is working with both Kyiv and Moscow to stop the war. He said Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy both want an end to the fighting, but he cited how they view each other and the difficulty of reaching a settlement as obstacles. His remarks came after he announced a ceasefire covering energy targets, and Russia's defense ministry claimed its forces hit two dry cargo ships carrying military and dual-purpose goods to Mykolaiv, a missile and long-range drone production site, and a Kyiv-region warehouse used for strike drones. Reuters said it was unable to verify the Russian account. Trump also did not directly answer a question about a Russian diesel deal that U.S. lawmakers criticized as possibly violating energy-import restrictions.
