Washington (dpa-Afx)-US President Donald Trump expects feedback from Russia to a possible peace agreement with Ukraine this week. “We will hear from you this week, so shortly, and then we will see,” said Trump at a appearance in front of the press in the White House. A journalist asked the Republican how long Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin There were still time to react to a proposal to a ceasefire before the United States would impose tariffs or other sanctions against Russia.
Trump also spoke again about Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj. “I am not satisfied with him and I’m not satisfied with everyone involved.” He was not a fan of Selenskyj, because he didn’t do the “greatest job”. He does not blame him, but if you were smart, then you won’t get involved in wars, says Trump. Russia has a much larger military than Ukraine. In addition to his predecessor Joe Biden, Trump had recently blamed both Kremlin chief Putin and Selenskyj for the war.
Trump wants a rapid end of the war and a rapprochement between the United States and Russia. His special envoy Steve Witkoff had recently traveled to Moscow several times to speak to Putin. Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian attack war for more than three years ./nau/dp/he
