Trump Says He Speaks With Putin and Zelenskyy

Sunday, 26 April 2026 04:05 PM EDT

President Donald Trump said on Sunday he has "good conversations" with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ‌as he aims to settle ​the Ukraine war.

"We're working on the Russia situation, Russia and ⁠Ukraine, and hopefully we're going to get ​it," Trump said in an interview on Fox ⁠News' "The Sunday Briefing."

Trump said he did not want to reveal when he had last ‌spoken with Putin.

"I do have conversations ​with him, and ‌I do have conversations with President Zelenskyy, and ‌good conversations," he said, not specifying when calls with either leader had been held.

"The hatred ⁠between President Putin ‌and President ⁠Zelenskyy is ridiculous. It's crazy. And hate is ⁠a ⁠bad thing. Hate is a bad thing when you're trying ‌to settle something, but it'll happen," he said.

Trump had vowed to end the war ‌that began ​with a ‌full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, but more than a year ​into his second term, the conflict continues.
