Trump says 'big, beautiful' Ukraine deal is coming and 'might involve all of Europe'
President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday that a "big agreement" on Ukraine is on the way and could reach well beyond Ukraine. He gave no terms or timeline, and spoke after a private White House meeting with Vladimir Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a major agreement to end the war in Ukraine is coming, and suggested it could reshape security arrangements across the continent. "There's going to be an agreement. It's going to be a big agreement, and it's going to involve more than Ukraine," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "I could even say it might involve all of Europe. It's going to be a big, beautiful agreement. Everyone's going to be thrilled."
The remarks came after Trump held a private meeting at the White House with Kirill Dmitriev, Vladimir Putin's special envoy for investment and economic cooperation, according to U.S. media reports. Dmitriev was in Washington the same day for first lady Melania Trump's event marking the ceasefire in the Russian-held town of Oleshky.
In this clip, Trump describes the human toll of the war on both sides. "Russia is losing civilians also. It's a bloodbath," he said. He said Russia and Ukraine were losing about 25,000 people a month and contrasted that with the U.S. war with Iran.
No details on terms or timing
Trump did not say who would sign a deal or when, and offered no terms on territory, security guarantees or sanctions. The White House has not released any framework matching his description. Earlier in the same session, he hinted at more announcements: "You'll be seeing a lot of things over the next week, two weeks."
Ukrainian officials were also in Washington this week, though Trump said he did not meet them, according to reports. Asked whether he raises Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilians with Putin, Trump said: "I always bring it up, and I also bring it up the other way, because the other way they kill too."
Here, Trump makes his prediction of a sweeping agreement, telling reporters it may involve all of Europe and that "everyone's going to be thrilled." He did not take follow-up questions on the details in this exchange.
A diplomatic push after the midterms
The comments came two days after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, a result that could complicate the administration's foreign policy agenda. Hours before Trump spoke, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had told U.S. officials that a winter ceasefire with Russia was possible, and Kyiv is grappling with major blackouts after repeated Russian strikes on its power grid. European governments continue to fund Kyiv's war effort, with Germany seeking an extra €100 million for Ukrainian infrastructure and Italy planning to extend its military aid framework into 2027. The Kremlin had not publicly responded to Trump's remarks as of Thursday night.
