The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has affirmed that his counterpart from Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, It will have to be “flexible” in the negotiations that are coming if you want to achieve peacewithin which the White House tenant does not contemplate in any case the sending of troops on the ground.
Trump has affirmed in an interview with Fox News that several European countries have already shown their willingness to deploy military in Ukraine, so “it will not be a problem” in the face of the security guarantees that Zelenski claims.
However, it has made it clear that the United States will not get involved in any way in this deployment. The American president had already ruled out in these last days a potential integration of Ukraine into NATO, waiting to see then how security guarantees are completed.
As for a potential exchange of territories, Trump has indicated that “Ukraine will recover his life” once the conflict ceases and also “a lot of territory”without going into more details, although just two days ago he assumed that kyiv would definitely resign the Crimean Peninsula.
“This is a war,” he added, and “Russia has a powerful army, people like or not.”
Future summit
One of the great goals now set by Trump is to organize a new summit attended by Zelenski and the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. In this sense, he said that Both do not have to become “best friends”, but give in one of their claims.
The American president has advocated organizing said meeting as soon as possible and has assured that one of the European leaders who went to the White House on Monday stated “another month or two” term before this appointment, something he considers counterproductive.
He hopes that “in a couple of weeks” there may be progress, although at the same time he assumes that there is a possibility that Putin “does not want to reach an agreement.” In that case, it does not rule out consequences: “I hope the president behaves well because, if not, we can reach a difficult situation.”
Trump, who already held an unpublished last Friday, spoke on Monday again with the Russian president ,. As Trump himself explained, he did not talk to his Russian counterpart in the presence of the rest of the leader, since he understands that he would have been “a disrespect” for Putin.
