"I think Russia is ready, and many people have said that Russia wants to go for all of this. And I think we have a deal with Russia," Trump said.
"We need to make a deal with Zelenskyy. I thought it might be easier with Zelenskyy. So far it has been more difficult. But that's okay, everything is fine," Trump said.
