US President Donald Trump said Sunday it could be clear within 'weeks' if the war in Ukraine can end, and flagged possible further talks with European leaders in Washington to push a peace deal.

"If it went really well, you know, maybe a few weeks, and if it went poorly, longer," Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate as he stood alongside his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.

Trump said he has offered to address Ukraine's parliament to push the latest peace plan forward, saying "I'm not sure that it would be really necessary, but if it would help save 25,000 lives a month, or whatever it may be, I would certainly be willing to do that."
