Trump on Ukraine ceasefire: I think we’re closer now than we have ever been

The tone around the ceasefire talks in Ukraine genuinely appears to be improving.

We’ve been here before so it’s tough to say whether this is real progress on yet-another headfake. Only time will tell but Trump’s comments today are encouraging:

• Good conversation with European leaders
• Long discussion, and things are seemingly going well
• Had a long talk with Zelensky
• We had numerous conversations with President Putin
• European leaders want to get it ended

Germany’s Merz also sounded unusually upbeat today.
