Trump disagrees with Zelensky saying he doesn't know how to end Ukraine war, plan is "not a surrender"

 Former president Donald Trump said he disagreed with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s assessment that he doesn’t know how to end Russia’s war on Ukraine.

“Oh, then I should immediately cancel my appointment,” Trump quipped. “He knows I understand.”

“I look forward to seeing him tomorrow. We’ll see — I do believe I disagree with him —well, he doesn’t know me. I disagree, but I will say this: I believe I will be able to make a deal between President Putin and President Zelensky quite quickly,” Trump said.

Zelensky told the New Yorker: “My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how. With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand.”

Trump left things open-ended when asked he believes Ukraine should cede territory to Russia as a means of ending the war.

“We’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters at Trump Tower.

While he declined to delve into the specifics of his plan to end the war, Trump said he doesn’t think it amounts to “surrender,” as Harris said earlier today alongside Zelensky.

“It’s not a surrender,” Trump said. “I want to save lives. Millions of people are dead.”

“It’s not my fight, but it is a fight to save humanity,” he added.

Trump said his message to Zelensky tomorrow is “let’s get some peace. We need peace.”
