The US president Donald Trump referred again to the issue of war in Ukraine and to an impending meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodimir Zelenski.
Donald Trump has revealed that he has spoken to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and the debate included the issue of nuclear weapons.
“Putin and Zelenski have to meet. I don’t know if they will meet. Maybe I’m present, maybe not. There may be consequences if they do not meet. We will see what happens in a couple of weeks, and then I will intervene. “
He even stressed that “Putin is reluctant to meet Zelenski because he does not like him”, and again referring to his desire to stop the war in Ukraine.
“I believe we will end the war,” the US president said, without giving further details and while his plan to bring Russia and Ukraine presidents near the same table seems to be in a deadlock.
At the same time, he stressed that he too has people who do not want to meet, but admitted that in some cases, even with them, he finds interesting to see them.
He also said he had not discussed specific security guarantees for Ukraine, but that the US would support the country.
It should be noted that possible security guarantees for Ukraine are an important obstacle to ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.
He also noted that he was discussing with NATO and not with Kiev and made it clear that “we are no longer spending any more money on Ukraine”.
He will meet with Kim Jong Un “sometime”
Donald Trump announced today that he will meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un “at some point”, without going into details.
“I have very good relations with Kim Jong Un,” the US president also said shortly before welcoming Lee Jae-Mung’s South Korean counterpart to the White House, for a meeting that will focus on the strategy to follow.
