Efforts to contain Russia’s war against Ukraine are "to some extent under control" - Trump
US President Donald Trump has said that he has managed to achieve some control over the escalation of Russia's war against Ukraine.
According to Censor.NET, with reference to European Pravda, Trump said this in an interview with Clay Travis, founder of the Outkick sports website, on board the presidential plane.
Trump once again noted his good relationship with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
"So, I know him very well. It's amazing that we haven't gotten into any serious skirmishes over the 'Russia, Russia, Russia' hoax," he said.
Trump also emphasized that Putin "didn't invade anywhere when I was president." He noted that Russian military actions in Georgia and Crimea took place during the presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, respectively, and the invasion of Ukraine took place during the term of President Joe Biden.
"I don't think there is anyone in the world who will stop (Putin) except me, and I think I can stop him," he said.
The US president added that he had "very rational discussions" with the Russian dictator.
"And I just want people to stop being killed. They're losing 2,500 young people every week, and they're Russians, and they're Ukrainians," Trump said, noting that he had managed to achieve some control over the escalation of the war.
