Zelenskyy accuses Russia of trying to sabotage peace talks with ‘typical Russian lies’

Is claim Ukraine deal is ‘95% done’ just another empty assertion from Trump?

Instead, Trump’s claim seems to be the latest in a long line of overoptimistic statements anticipating a swift end to the conflict, starting with his campaign promise that he would end the war in 24 hours.
