Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy told reporters after meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump that it is time for a ceasefire and negotiations.

He appeared to stop short of embracing Trump’s call for an immediate end to the war and for the two sides to “stop where they are.”

“The president is right, we have to stop where we are, and then to speak,” Zelenskyy said.

Trump said again Friday that Putin and Zelenskyy feel hatred toward each other, making direct negotiations difficult.

The Ukrainian president arrived at the White House at 1:25 p.m. EDT on Friday, greeted by members of the U.S. military holding state flags.

It’s the fourth meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump as they’ve sought to resolve Russia’s war in Ukraine. Trump spoke separately on Thursday by phone with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and plans to meet with him in roughly two weeks in Budapest, Hungary.
