Direct contacts with Kyiv and Moscow: Trump’s assessment
Trump revealed details of his recent telephone and diplomatic contacts with the presidents of Ukraine and Russia. According to his observations, there is a window of opportunity for launching a negotiation process.
"Right now, I’m focused on Ukraine. We’ve had very constructive, good conversations with Zelenskyy and Putin — both leaders seem open to dialogue and appear ready to resolve this. So now that the issue [with Iran] is settled, we’ll focus on Ukraine. We’ll see if we can bring this matter to a successful conclusion as well. Twenty-five thousand people are dying every month — mostly soldiers. And this should not be happening. But yesterday I had two very good conversations. We will be discussing this further," the US President said optimistically.
