US President Donald Trump, returning to the White House, declared one of his priority goals to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine. His administration began direct negotiations with Moscow, which Joe Biden basically refused. Trump often reproaches in Ukraine and Europe for the fact that he allegedly occupies a “pro -Russian” position in the conflict, more criticizing the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, rather than President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, who began war. Trump himself replies to this that his main task is the ceasefire and the death of people on both sides. The US President really sometimes spokes in complimentary about Putin, but such statements alternate with criticism and even threats – and from the side the change of rhetoric Trump often looks chaotic. Here is what Trump about Putin had time for three months of his attempts to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine. None quotes were subjected to insignificant editors while maintaining the meaning. ↓ (After talking with Putin by phone), we both agreed that the millions of deaths that take place in the war. ↓ I think the Russians want the war to end. (…) But I think that they have trump cards, because they have captured a lot of territory. ↓ (When asked if he considers Putin a dictator) I do not use this word frivolously. I think we will see how all this will work. ↓ (about trust in Putin) trust, but check, let’s call it that. And I think that we both can be like that. ↓ We held serious negotiations with Russia and received strong signals that they are ready for the world. ↓ Russia is right now crushing Ukraine on the battlefield, so I seriously consider large -scale banking sanctions, as well as duties against Russia until the ceasefire and a final peace agreement are reached. The exchange of intelligence between the USA and Ukraine) I think that he does what anyone else would do. I think he wants it to stop and settled, and I think he beats more than he had before. And I think, anyone in his place would have done it now. ↓ We have held very good and productive negotiations with Putin yesterday, and there is every chance that this terrible bloody war will finally end. ↓ I think that Russia wants to put an end (this war), but perhaps it pulls time. You know, I did this for many years: “I don’t want to sign the contract, I want to stay in the game, but maybe I don’t want to do this.” I’m not sure, but I still think that Russia would like to end. ↓ If Russia and I can’t agree on the cessation of bloodshed in Ukraine and if (…) I will decide that it was the fault of Russia, I will introduce secondary oil duties coming from Russia. ↓ I don’t want to introduce secondary duties on its (Putin) oil, but I think this is what I could do if I consider it that he was considering that he is that he was considering that does not cope with work (…). I think he will do what he told me, and I think he will fulfill his part of the transaction. ↓ I do not like what is happening with bombing, because they (Russia) are bombing like crazy right now. They are bombing – I do not know what is happening there. This is a bad situation. ↓ Russia should begin to act (in the direction of the world). Too many people die, thousands a week, in a terrible and meaningless war. ↓ (On the blow to the sums) I think it was terrible. And they told me that they made a mistake. But I think this is terrible. ↓ Biden could stop her (war). Zelensky could stop her. And Putin should not have started it at all. Everyone is to blame. (…) Millions of the dead-because of three people. ↓ (about a massive attack on Kyiv) I am dissatisfied with Russian blows to Kyiv. There is no need for them, and they are very time. Vladimir, stop! 5,000 soldiers per week die. Let’s conclude a peace treaty. (Tagstotranslate) News
