Fruitless proved to be his phone call Donald Trump with Vladimir Putin For the war that has crushed Ukraine for more than 3 years.
In his new statements on Friday (04.07.2025) Donald Trump did not hide the disappointment with Vladimir Putin for the attitude he continues to maintain against Ukraine.
US attempts to end the war in Ukraine by diplomatic media seem to have reached to deadlock And Donald Trump is facing growing calls – even by some Republicans – to step up pressure on Vladimir Putin in order to accept to negotiate.
Following the telephone conversation yesterday the two leaders had, the US president said he plans to talk to his Ukrainian counterpart today, Volodimir Zelenskias he told reporters on his return to Washington from Iowa.
“I am very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin because I do not think he is there and I am very disappointed,” he said.
“I just say that he doesn’t think about stopping and that’s very bad. I didn’t make any progress with him, “he added, speaking to reporters yesterday.
‘Freeze’ from the US to weapons delivery
During their conversation, which lasted almost an hour, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin did not discuss the recent US decision to cut off the provision of some military equipment in Ukraine, Yuri Usakov’s adviser to the Russian president pointed out.
For his part, Donald Trump told reporters on his departure for Aeva that we have not completely stopped the providing weapons to Ukraine and accused Joe Biden’s predecessor That he sent so much military equipment to Kyiv that he was in danger of weakening the US defense.
“We give weapons, but we have given so many weapons. But we give weapons, “he said.
“And we work with them and we try to help them but we haven’t (completely stopped). You know, Biden emptied our country by giving them weapons and we must ensure that we have enough for us, “he added.
The US decision to interrupt the mission of some weapons has surprised Kiev and has confused Donald Trump’s views on the conflict. Last week the US president had stated that he would try to send a Patriot anti -aircraft system in Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials spoke with the US envoy to Kiev on Wednesday to underline the importance of the military aid their country receives from Washington and to warn him that the interruption of some weapons would weaken her capacity.
