US President Donald Trump said Friday that it was now"up to" his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, to move forward with reaching an agreement to end the war in Ukraine.
"Now it's really up to President Zelensky to get that done. And I would also say that the European nations have to get involved a little bit, but it's up to President Zelensky," Trump told Fox News after the summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
"We had a very good meeting today, but we'll see; we have to reach an agreement. We agree on many points. I want people to stop dying in Ukraine... If we could end that war, that would be very good."
During the interview, Trump declined to detail the final issues holding up an agreement, saying only that he wants to"see what we can accomplish." However, despite failing to reach an agreement on Friday, he hailed the summit as a success, giving it a 10 out of 10,"in the sense that we get along great."
"I want to make sure it gets done," he added."And we have a good chance of doing that."
