President Trump said “contracts” are being negotiated to divide up land as part of a final deal ending Russia’s war in Ukraine and reiterated that a ceasefire could come “pretty soon.”

“They are fighting against each other,” Trump told reporters Friday in the White House. “I think we're going to have ceasefire on a lot of areas and so far, that’s all held very well.”

“In getting that ceasefire, they had a lot of guns pointing at each other. You had some soldiers unfortunately surrounded by other soldiers,” the president said. “They are going to be — I believe we're going to pretty soon have a full ceasefire, and then we’re going to have a contract, and the contract's being negotiated, the contract in terms of dividing up the lands, etc., etc. It's being negotiated as we speak.”
