President Trump reiterated his call on Sunday for an immediate halt to the three-and-a-half-year full-scale war in Ukraine, saying the battle lines should be frozen where they currently stand, with Russia's invading forces occupying most of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region.

Trump reiterated his call for Russia and Ukraine to accept current battle lines, following reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed surrendering Donetsk to end the war.

A Ukrainian source separately called the White House meeting “tense,” but said there was “no shouting,” downplaying reports of a volatile encounter between the two leaders.
