The US President said he would trust Russian President Vladimir Putin.
US President Donald Trump said on Friday that it is easier for him to negotiate a war with Russia than Ukraine. He added that he trusts Russian President Vladimir Putin, TASR reports on the basis of an AFP report.
“I trust him,” Trump said at a press conference in the White House.
Recently, Trump has been developing increasing pressure to Ukraine defending Russian aggression and ordered the suspension of the provision of military aid and intelligence information to Ukraine.
The US President threatened Russia on Friday by imposing further sanctions for new attacks throughout Ukraine. But now he said he understands why Russian forces have launched this massive bombing. “Actually, I think they are doing what everyone would do in such a position now,” Trump said. “I always had a good relationship with Putin. And you know, he wants to end the war … I think it will be more generous than it would have to be, and that’s quite good. That means a lot of good,” he added.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, calling on the West to provide security guarantees before he proceeds to a ceasefire with Russia, according to Trump now risks to lose all the US aid. “I don’t know if they want to agree. If they do not want to agree, we will withdraw because we want them to agree. I do this to stop dying, “Trump added.
