“The U.S. President returned to his position of neutrality between Ukraine and Russia,” the newspaper writes.

I had an excellent phone call with President Putin that lasted for over two hours.

We discussed a lot of points, and I do think we're getting a lot closer, maybe very close. We are getting a lot closer, maybe very close.

We've done very well. We had discussions on just about every subject, that includes with Putin before.

We went into great detail, and we likewise went into great detail today.

I hope you enjoyed the food,

Your people enjoyed the food, your big strong people.

We will speak over the next couple of weeks quite a bit, but we will speak tomorrow.

20-point peace plan, 90% agreed.

US-Ukraine security guarantees, 100% agreed.

U.S.-Europe-Ukraine security guarantees almost agreed.

Military dimension 100 percent agreed.

We agreed that our teams will meet in upcoming weeks to finalize all discussed matters.

We agreed with President Trump that he will host us and European leaders maybe in Washington in January.

Ukraine is ready for peace.

You can say 95%, but I don't like to say percentages.

There are one or two very thorny issues, but I think we're doing very well.

That one is unresolved, but we are getting closer to an agreement on that.

That's certainly one of the big issues. It's unresolved, but it's getting a lot closer.

We can have referendums on any kind of point of this plan.

If the plan will be very difficult for our society, of course our society has to choose and has to vote because it's their land, the land not of one person. It's the land of our nation for a lot of generations.

You'll probably have to get their plan approved by Parliament or by referendum of the people.

91% of Ukrainians want this war to end.

Russia also wants it ended. Everybody wants it ended and we want it ended.

I want it ended because I don't want to see so many people dying. We're losing, you know, massive numbers of people — the biggest by far since World War II.
