Following the US capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested similar action could be taken against Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, US President Donald Trump dismissed this possibility, stating it was "not necessary" and that he had a "great relationship" with Putin, despite being "very disappointed" with the Ukraine war. Trump cited significant losses and Russia's struggling economy, expressing regret over the conflict's duration and his inability to resolve it sooner.
