Ukrinform
U.S. President Donald Trump has said that a peace deal for Ukraine being advanced by the United States could work and that, in his opinion, many people want to see it work.

He told this to journalists at the White House on Friday, December 12, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"Let's see what happens. We're working on seeing if we can make a deal right now. We're going to see. We'll know soon, I guess," Trump said in response to a question about Ukraine.

When asked to clarify specific points, including the creation of a buffer zone and territorial issues, Trump noted that he would not comment on anything at this time.

"It's a very complex situation, but it would work, and a lot of people want to see it work. All I want to do is stop the death of 25,000 people a month," Trump said.
