Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will have to like a U.S.-backed peace plan to halt Russia’s invasion and ultimately approve it, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday (November 21, 2025).
Mr. Trump, speaking in the Oval Office after a meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, repeated that he had expected to resolve the war much sooner given his good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding, “It does take two to tango.”
Mr. Trump said the approaching winter, the mounting death toll and repeated attacks on Ukrainian energy plants underscored the urgency of ending the war.
