O'Reilly predicts Trump and Putin will 'get a ceasefire' in Ukraine

Former Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly predicts President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will "get a ceasefire" in Ukraine.

O'Reilly, in an interview on NewsNation's "CUOMO," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "has no power."

"He has to do what the United States tells him to do. Europe wants a ceasefire, and Zelensky can't stand by himself, so he'll do what the compromise is," the veteran news anchor told host Chris Cuomo.

Trump said he and Putin have agreed to begin “negotiations” on ending the war, as it nears the three-year mark.

The president in a social media post Wednesday disclosed a call between the two leaders, suggesting they would “work together, very closely.”

The call followed a prisoner swap that resulted in Russia releasing American schoolteacher Marc Fogel, of Pennsylvania, after more than three years of detention.
