US President Donald Trump continues to "work hard" to achieve peace, but Washington's patience over Russia's war against Ukraine "is growing very thin", the White House has said.

Details: Leavitt said that Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on 17 October, shortly after holding talks with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.

Quote: "In both of these conversations, with both Putin and Zelenskyy, they were cordial but very frank. And the President of the United States has said to both sides of this war that this has been going on for far too long. Far too many innocent people have been killed. And the United States of America is growing very weary and tired of this war."

More details: She added that both Russia and Ukraine must recognise the "reality on the ground" and "come to a peace agreement".

Quote: "Because President Trump's patience and the patience of the American people is growing very thin with this war. So he was very frank and direct."

Background:

• After meeting Zelenskyy, Trump said he sees a chance to reach an agreement to end the Russo-Ukrainian war in the near future.
• Trump also reiterated his belief that the Russian ruler is interested in ending the war and that Ukraine and Russia need "to make a deal".
