„The meeting ended with Trump's decision to make a „deal where they are - on the demarcation line“, the article also says.
It is also claimed that the US head of state hinted at „freezing and destroying“ Ukraine if it does not reach a peace agreement with Russia.

US Vice President Vance said that US President Donald Trump has not yet made a decision on the possible transfer of „Tomahawk“ cruise missiles to Ukraine, Reuters reports.
"The United States need critical weapons systems for their own troops.
The president has U.S. interests first; the administration will continue to work toward peace in the Ukraine conflict, even if it takes months or more; there is optimism about that," Vance added.
