Trump: US is no longer "monetarily involved" in war in Ukraine
US President Donald Trump has said that the United States is trying to bring the "Ukraine crisis" to an end.
He said this at a meeting at the White House, Censor.NET reports.
The US leader also recalled his previous achievements as a peace-broker.
"I’ve settled eight wars. This would be the ninth, and our people are over in Russia right now to see if we can get it settled. Not an easy situation, let me tell you, what a mess. It’s a war that never would have happened if I were president, not even a chance."
The US president added that under his predecessor, Ukraine received a significant share of its aid in cash:
"Biden handed out $350 billion like candy. It’s an massive amount of money, and most of it was in cash, with a lot provided as equipment.
