The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has claimed to agree “to a large extent” with the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, on an exchange of territories between Ukraine and Russia as part of a future peace between the two countries.
Both leaders have also agreed that Ukraine needs new security measures, but outside NATO. “I agree with President Trump, as he said today, in which, naturally, the security of Ukraine must also be guaranteed,” Putin said at the press conference after face to face between the two presidents.
“Well, I think those are points that we negotiate. And they are points where, in fact, we agree to a large extent. I think we have coincided with many things. And I can assure you that the meeting was very cordial,” Trump replied when asked about the two issues mentioned in an interview in the Fox News television network.
The president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, said last Tuesday that the Ukrainian troops will not abandon the Donbás region and rejected the idea of a territorial exchange with Russia, referring to the fact that this assignment could serve Moscow of “springboard” to start a new offensive.
In this context, the White House tenant has urged the Ukrainian leader to accept the deal with Russia although “maybe they don’t say.” Among the reasons for Zelenski to not reach an agreement, Trump emphasizes that Ukraine has received a lot of financing from Europe and the United States during the conflict.
“Biden distributed money as if they were candies and Europe gave him a lot of money. We gave him 350,000 million dollars. Europe gave him much less, but still much: 100,000 million dollars,” he said on television.
El Alto el Fuego, “depends on Zelenski”
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has argued that reaching a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine “now depends” on Ukrainian President, Volodomir Zelenski, after the “productive” face to face.
“Actually now depends on President Zelenski to achieve it (a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia), and also I would say that European nations must be involved a bit, but it depends on President Zelenski“The American president said in an interview on the Fox News television network shortly after the end of the bilateral summit.
Trump has preferred not to make public disagreements between both parties during the meeting, although he has affirmed that they will soon be known. Likewise, he has confirmed that they are “one or two significant issues” in which they differ, but that he thinks they can be resolved.
In this sense, he has left the responsibility of future advances in the hands of the Ukrainian President. “It is not yet resolved at alland Ukraine has to agree, that is, President Zelenski has to agree, but it is a terrible war in which a lot is being lost, and the two are losing a lot, “Trump said
