U.S. President Trump expresses urgency to meet Putin to end the war in Ukraine, emphasizing the tragic loss of life.

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his desire to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon to work toward ending the nearly three-year-old conflict in Ukraine, citing the devastating loss of life.

"I would really like to meet with President Putin soon to bring an end to this war," Trump said in a video address to the World Economic Forum in Davos , following his return to the White House.

“This is not about the economy or anything else; it's about the millions of lives being lost. It's a tragedy, and we must put an end to it," he added.

Trump also mentioned that U.S. efforts to secure a peace settlement were underway, though he did not provide further specifics. Additionally, he expressed optimism about the strong relationship between the U.S. and China and hoped that China could play a role in helping to end the conflict in Ukraine.

Ahead of his November 5 election win, Trump repeatedly stated that he could broker a deal between Ukraine and Russia by his first day in office, or even sooner. However, his advisers now acknowledge that the war could take months to resolve.
