WASHINGTON, April 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he has "good conversations" with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as he aims to settle the Ukraine war.
Details From Fox News Interview
"We're working on the Russia situation, Russia and Ukraine, and hopefully we're going to get it," Trump said in an interview on Fox News' "The Sunday Briefing."

Trump said he did not want to reveal when he had last spoken with Putin.
"I do have conversations with him, and I do have conversations with President Zelenskiy, and good conversations," he said, not specifying when calls with either leader had been held.

Ongoing Conflict and Future Prospects
Trump had vowed to end the war that began with a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, but more than a year into his second term, the conflict continues.
