Trump said that both countries want to make a deal to stop fighting and that his team is working hard to make it happen.
Zelenskyy also said that the documents for ending the war are almost ready.

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy criticized Europe for not doing enough to help Ukraine and for not being strong enough.
He also talked about how important it is for Europe to act now and not wait.
