U.S. President Donald Trump has advised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to reach a negotiated settlement with Russia to end the ongoing conflict, according to a report from the OSINTdefender channel. The statement emphasizes the need for talks despite the complexities involved. The context aligns with ongoing diplomatic efforts: as The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, Zelensky and Trump met on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France.
U.S. President Donald Trump has advised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to "make a deal" with Russia to resolve the ongoing war, according to a report Tuesday evening from the OSINTdefender channel. The brief statement, which characterizes Trump's advice as emphasizing the need for talks despite complexities, offers no specific terms, timeline, or indication of any formal U.S. mediation framework.
The remark comes amid a flurry of U.S.-Ukraine diplomatic activity. As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, Zelensky and Trump met in person on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France — their first face-to-face encounter following a lengthy phone call over the weekend. Trump has increasingly framed the war in Ukraine as the next foreign-policy priority after U.S.-Iran diplomacy, stating Monday that "now that Iran is finished, we are going to focus on that" and that both Putin and Zelensky are open to a resolution.
The source channel, OSINTdefender, does not cite an official U.S. or Ukrainian statement, and no White House or Kyiv confirmation of this specific advice has been published at the time of drafting. The report remains single-sourced, and the exact timing, venue, and context of Trump's remark — whether conveyed in a private call, a meeting, or a public exchange — are not specified.
