Quote: "He's doing pretty well. Look, no matter how you look at it, he's doing pretty well. He's holding his own at least. A lot of people are dying on both sides, but I think he's doing pretty well.

Look, you have to say he's courageous. He's got great equipment, but he's got great men. He's got fighters."

Details: Trump made the remarks in response to a journalist's question at the press conference about whether he believed Zelenskyy was "winning right now".

Background: During a dinner last week in Évian-les-Bains, where the G7 summit was held, Trump told Zelenskyy that he was impressed by Kyiv's recent military successes.
