According to the head of the White House, he is "firmly convinced that 'they will not invade again, or I will not agree to it.'"
I think he (Russian dictator Vladimir Putin - ed.) wants to make a deal. But I've been thinking about it - I've been thinking about it for a long time
In his opinion, Putin is still ready for peace.
I've had instances where I did everything with Putin, and Zelensky wouldn't make a deal, which shocked me. Then I had instances where it was the other way around. I think now they both want to make a deal, but we'll find out
He declined to specify how quickly he hopes to end the war, adding: "We're doing our best, I don't have a timeline."
