Trump ‘very close’ to a deal or very close to blaming Zelenskyy for the lack of one

Cliff Notes

• The White House is facing increasing pressure for a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war, with Donald Trump claiming he is “very close” to a deal.
• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s warning that America may “move on” if a deal isn’t reached has not compelled Ukraine to concede, highlighting their constitutional constraints against recognising Russian claims.
• Vice President JD Vance has reiterated that the US will withdraw if both sides do not come to an agreement, but Trump’s rhetoric seems to focus solely on Ukraine’s stance while neglecting to hold Russia accountable.
