Details: Reflecting on the conversation with Zelenskyy, Trump said that "Ukraine is in a very serious, very tough situation."
Quote: "This is not my war. But I want to see if I can solve it, because probably close to 5,000 young soldiers a week are being killed, Russian and Ukrainian. We also spend a tremendous amount of money in Ukraine, and Europe should be spending much more than us. They're not. They're spending much less."
More details: When the interviewer asked about the tone of the meeting at the Vatican, the US President described it as "a moment of solace in a sense, because tremendous numbers of people are dying".
"A lot of his people are dying. They're being killed. And I feel very badly about it," Trump said.
