On Thursday, Donald Trump reaffirmed his desire to meet the Russian president.
“I think, from what I’m hearing, that Putin wants to meet with me, we’ll meet as soon as possible. I would meet with him immediately,” he told reporters in the Oval Office.
“Every day that we do not meet, soldiers are killed on the battlefield,” said Donald Trump, judging that it was “a ridiculous war”.
Donald Trump ‘can’t give Vladimir Putin what he wants’
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “is ready to negotiate an agreement, they would like to stop,” he added.
-Earlier, during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Donald Trump called for lowering oil prices, saying that if they were lower “the war in Ukraine would be over immediately.”
Dmitry Peskov replied Friday that the conflict in Ukraine “does not depend on oil prices.” This conflict “arises from a threat to Russian national security,” he assured.
Since his re-election, Russia, Ukraine and their allies have been waiting to see what position the unpredictable American leader will adopt, particularly on crucial military aid for Ukraine, especially since he boasts of having a good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine fears being pushed to the negotiating table in an unfavorable position, because it is struggling on the front, and of being forced to cede its territories occupied by Russia.
