Before his presidential election win last fall, Donald Trump famously boasted that he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine on "day one" of his second term in office.
Reaching a ceasefire agreement during the first 100 days of the second Trump presidency, let alone a peace deal, has arguably proven much harder than the White House leader expected.
Trump has rowed back on his initial comment, saying he was joking.
U.S. officials say the coming week will be "very critical" for determining whether it remains involved in talks.
