President Donald Trump president said Wednesday that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy "has to be realistic" about the war in Ukraine and mused about when Ukraine was next holding elections.

The comments came after Trump spoke with the leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom, who discussed Ukraine "in pretty strong terms," he said.

Trump said European leaders would like a meeting this coming weekend with both the U.S. and Ukraine, and "we'll make a determination depending on what they come back with."

In recent days, Trump has been pushing Zelenskyy to get on board with a proposed peace plan to end the war in Ukraine that Russia started in 2022.

"I think he has to be realistic," Trump said of Zelenskyy Wednesday during a question-and-answer session with reporters. "I do wonder about, you know, how long is it going to be until they have an election?"

He later added: "that's not casting dispersions on anybody. But they do have a massive corruption situation going on there."
