TL;DR

U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States may be able to do something on Ukraine, adding that both Putin and Zelensky are open to a resolution. "Now that Iran is finished, we are going to focus on that," he said, according to Israeli media.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Monday night — U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States would turn its focus to ending the war in Ukraine, declaring a shift in priorities after the conflict with Iran. "Maybe we can do something with Ukraine, I think both Putin and Zelensky are open to it," Trump said. "Now that Iran is finished, we are going to focus on that." The remark, reported by Israeli media, is the clearest signal yet from Trump that a Ukraine-oriented diplomatic push may follow the recent U.S.-Iran deal, which his administration has said is nearly finalized. The statement aligns with reports that Trump is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the G7. As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, Trump told Russian President Vladimir Putin that the Iran deal is nearly complete, and Putin expressed satisfaction. Monday's comments add that the White House now sees Ukraine as the next front for U.S. diplomatic attention. No specific timeline or negotiation framework was mentioned.
