Speaking in the Oval Office yesterday, Trump said that he had “no allegiance” to either side and that his only goal was to stop the war and save lives, but he did claim that Putin had made a “pretty big concession” to end the conflict. When pressed on what that concession was, Trump replied, “stopping taking the whole country.”

Donald Trump will let Vladimir Putin keep almost all the territory he has seized from Ukraine under the terms of a proposed peace deal. The condition is part of a seven-point plan to end the war that leaves Ukraine with no clear US security guarantee.

Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff met President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in what Trump has called a key moment in diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine.
