“The situation in Ukraine is connected with (former US President Joe) Bayden, I’m just trying to achieve a solution,” Trump told reporters on a presidential aircraft.
He added: “We will see. I do not know, I can’t tell you whether it will happen or not. I hope this will happen. “
Last Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American colleague Donald Trump made a new phone call, which lasted almost an hour, calling him “one wave, practical and straight.”
At the Ukrainian crisis, Trump confirmed his desire to put an end to military operations in Ukraine as soon as possible.
For his part, Putin emphasized Russia’s readiness to continue the path to negotiations with Kiev, but he insisted that Moscow “would not abandon its goals aimed at eliminating the indigenous causes of the conflict.”
During the call, the issue of stopping US accessories in Ukraine was not discussed. In addition, the date of the third round of negotiations in Istanbul was not discussed, and it was emphasized that negotiations would remain bilateral between Moscow and Kiev, according to Yuri Ushakov, assistant to the President of Russia.
In a connected context, President Trump and Vladimir Zelenski called on Friday morning. A source familiar with the Axios website described negotiations between them as “good”.
