White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated on Tuesday that President Donald Trump is increasingly "frustrated" with both Russian and Ukrainian leaders over the prolonged conflict between their nations. During a press briefing, Leavitt emphasized the president’s desire to see a swift resolution to the war, which has resulted in significant loss of life on both sides.

“He wants this war to end,” Leavitt said. “There are men dying on both sides, and it’s been going on for far too long. Our team continues to be engaged with the Russians as we are with the Ukrainians.” She confirmed that Trump remains personally involved in monitoring and addressing the situation.

Trump has previously voiced his anger toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, particularly after Putin challenged the credibility of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The tensions have persisted, with both sides struggling to reach an agreement on a ceasefire or a broader peace settlement.

Despite the gridlock, diplomatic engagements continue. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recently announced that Moscow and Washington are preparing for another meeting to discuss the ongoing conflict. This follows an earlier round of talks held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which centered on potential avenues for de-escalation in Eastern Europe.

The White House’s comments reflect growing concern within the U.S. administration over the continued violence and the geopolitical instability resulting from the war. Trump’s administration has signaled a willingness to maintain dialogue with both parties, but expectations for a rapid breakthrough remain tempered.

As international observers monitor developments, the prospect of renewed talks offers a glimmer of hope for progress. However, with key disagreements still unresolved, a lasting peace may remain elusive without major concessions from both Kyiv and Moscow.
