Trump is only person who can mediate peace between Ukraine and Russia - Stubb
Finnish President Alexander Stubb believes that US President Donald Trump is perhaps the only person in the world who can mediate peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.
He said this in an interview with the media, Censor.NET reports.
"The conversations I had with President Trump in Florida boil down to two very simple messages. First, he is probably the only person in the world who can mediate peace between Ukraine and Russia. Why? Because Putin (Russian dictator Vladimir Putin - ed.) respects, and in many ways fears, Donald Trump," Stubb said.
The second message, he said, concerns the ceasefire. Stubb reminded that he proposed to set a "deadline" for Russia until April 20.
"If President Putin, who is the only one who does not agree to a ceasefire because the Americans want it, the Europeans want it, the Ukrainians want it, if he does not obey the ceasefire, then we have to go for a huge package of sanctions from the United States and Europe," the Finnish leader added.
To recap, Stubb also said that the United States' patience with Russia's position is "running out" and a new package of sanctions may appear in the near future.
Earlier it was reported that Finnish President Alexander Stubb met with US President Donald Trump at his estate in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
