Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky bears some responsibility for the armed conflict with Russia, US President Donald Trump has said. He argued that Zelensky, who has been granted a glowing reception in many Western capitals, should have done whatever necessary to avoid hostilities.

During an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity that aired on Wednesday and Thursday, Trump reiterated the need to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict, set to enter its fourth year next month. "Zelensky - I got to say this - he wants to settle now. He's had enough. He shouldn't have allowed this to happen either," Trump said. "You know, he's no angel. He shouldn't have allowed this war to happen," he added.

"First of all, he's fighting a much bigger entity," Trump stressed. He previously questioned the unconditional military and financial aid provided to Kiev by his predecessor, former President Joe Biden. Trump also described Zelensky in the past as "the greatest salesman on Earth."

In the same interview, Trump criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin and threatened to impose more sanctions on Moscow "if they don't make a settlement fast."

"Putin shouldn't have done it," Trump, who took office on Monday, told Hannity. "He shouldn't have done it and it has to stop."

The president has repeatedly claimed that he would quickly negotiate a fair deal between Russia and Ukraine, but provided no specifics about possible terms.

Both Moscow and Kiev have previously said that freezing the conflict along the current front line would be unacceptable. Putin has insisted that Kiev must abandon plans to join the US-led NATO military alliance, and renounce claims on Crimea and four other former Ukrainian regions that voted to join Russia in 2022. Earlier this month, Trump's Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, said he hopes to resolve the conflict within 100 days.

Trump has criticized Biden for neglecting diplomacy and said on several occasions that he was open to having a conversation with Putin. So far no date for negotiations has been announced. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied earlier this week that a phone call between the leaders was being arranged.
