U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are “getting along a little bit better than expected.” Trump offered the assessment without elaborating on the substance of any recent contacts between the two leaders or on possible implications for the war that began with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The remark comes as international mediators continue to look for openings to reduce hostilities and forge a lasting settlement. There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin or Zelenskyy’s office on Trump’s characterization of their relationship.
