The demand reportedly echoed proposals allegedly made by Russian President Vladimir Putin in a recent phone call with Trump. The report surfaced as Washington and Moscow prepare for a possible Trump–Putin summit in Budapest. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said the fighting in Ukraine should stop “at the battle lines.” Zelenskyy, who had sought U.S. commitment to supply long-range Tomahawk missiles, left Washington without a firm agreement. Vice President JD Vance later said the decision on the missiles has not yet been made. Analysts say that Trump’s stance risks adopting Moscow’s framing of the conflict at the expense of European security.
