On October 20th, according to the British Financial Times, in a gunpowder-filled White House meeting last Friday, < b > Trump urged Zelensky to accept Russia's conditions for ending the conflict and warned that Putin had said he would "destroy" Ukraine if it did not agree. According to people familiar with the matter, the meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents repeatedly turned into a "loud quarrel", with Trump "swearing all the way". They added that < b > the US president threw away the map of the Ukrainian front line, insisted that Zelensky hand over the entire Donbass region , and repeated the point Putin made on the phone a day earlier. While Mr. Trump has since voiced support for freezing the current front, the hostile meeting appeared to reflect his capricious approach to conflict and his willingness to support Mr. Putin's maximalist demands. One European official present said Mr. Trump's assertion that the Russian economy was "doing well" contrasted with his recent public urging of Mr. Putin to negotiate that Russia's "economy is about to collapse".
