When asked about his change of attitude towards Zelenskyy after their conflict in the White House, Trump said that the President of Ukraine has become "calmer".

I see him calmer, I think he understands the picture, I think he wants to make a deal

He also expressed great disappointment with Russia - in particular, he called on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to stop the war and "reach an agreement." At the same time, he evaded answering about the status of the annexed Crimea, while believing that Zelenskyy is "ready to give up" the peninsula.

We'll see what happens in the next few days. Don't talk to me about Crimea, talk about Crimea with Obama and Biden

The publication reminds that Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014, when Barack Obama was the US president.
