US President Donald Trump said Russia is allegedly ready to conclude a peace agreement on war in Ukraine, but he considers President Vladimir Zelensky's position in this process. He made such a statement when signing the decrees in the oval office.
According to Trump, finding a common language with the Ukrainian leader was more difficult than he expected. “In my opinion, Russia is ready. Many have said that Russia is ready to go for anything. Now we need to agree with Zelensky. I thought it would be easier to negotiate with him, but it was more difficult, ”the US president said.
Nevertheless, Trump expressed restrained optimism about the development of events, noting: “I think we already have an agreement with two warring sides. I hope they will accept it. "
He also took the opportunity to criticize Joe Baiden's predecessor for the "waste" of US funds in support of Ukraine and the inability to prevent a full -scale war. In his opinion, Baiden's administration is responsible for the conflict that has gained such a scale.
Trump's statement has made short before one of the largest Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities recently. On the night of April 24, Kyiv suffered a combined rocket stroke, resulting in at least nine people killed, more than 60 were injured. 19 beats were recorded in Kharkiv, including winged missiles.
Meanwhile, on April 23, Ukrainian top officials were in London, where they discussed international support and possible formats for the end of the war. The Ukrainian government emphasizes that the first step to peace should be the unconditional ceasefire.
