Speaking with reporters at the event, Putin said, “The fact that Mr. Trump, as a presidential candidate, says that he is ready and wants to stop the war in Ukraine, we take that very seriously. I haven’t seen his ideas on how exactly he’s going to do that and that is the key question, but I have no doubt that he says that sincerely and we support that.”
Trump has consistently supported getting the Ukraine-Russia war settled as soon as possible so people stop dying.
Powerful moment:
CNN: “Do you want Ukraine to win this war?”
Trump: “I don’t think about it in terms of winning and losing, I think in terms of getting it settled so we stop killing all these people.”

One of Trump’s top campaign talking points is that he will end the war as soon as he takes office.

With Putin already publicly agreeing to a negotiation, it appears as if Trump may have a good shot at settling the dispute by the time he is re-elected.
