US President Donald Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared more willing to reach a peace agreement than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, amid growing questions over alleged Russian violations of a proposed energy ceasefire.

Trump maintained that both countries supported the ceasefire initiative, despite a reporter pointing out that Putin had not publicly committed to the proposal. “I think they both support it. I think they want to make a deal, but they don’t know how. “Well, they agreed, you know why?
