US President has acknowledged that reaching a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia may be unattainable due to the deep hatred between 2 sides.

In an interview with NBC News, Donald Trump said there were moments when he was close to stepping away from a mediating role: "Sometimes I get close to it, and then positive things happen".

However, he confirmed that stepping away is still a possibility: "Well, there will be a time when I say: "Okay, keep going. Keep being stupid and keep fighting"".

He acknowledged that a resolution might be unrealistic, yet still claimed that an agreement could be "fairly close": "Maybe it`s not possible to do… There`s tremendous hatred, just so you understand, between these two men [Putin/Zelensky], and between, you know, some of the soldiers, frankly. Between generals. They`ve been fighting hard for three years. I think we have a very good chance of doing it".
