Claim 5: “President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine have been clear in recent months that they want the United States to re-engage”
DISPUTED
Evidence is contradictory. One source claims both Putin and Zelensky want more war, while another reports Zelensky is skeptical of meetings and believes only the US can persuade Russia to end the war. While Wikipedia mentions summits between Trump and Putin, there is no consensus that both leaders have 'clearly' expressed a desire for US re-engagement in a unified manner.
