WASHINGTON -- President-elect Donald Trump said Ukraine needs to reach a deal to end the Russian invasion and downplayed the value of occupied land, in the latest signal he may push for a settlement that codifies Russian territorial gains.

"He should be prepared to make a deal, that's all," Trump said of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while speaking Monday at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida club. "Got to be a deal. Too many people being killed."
