Russian attack war
Trump: Hopes for Peace Deal – Putin will have a word
Trump wants to reach an end of the war in Ukraine. He states to have trust in Kremlin chief Putin. At the same time, his meeting with the Ukrainian President Selenskyj is imminent.
The day before his meeting with the Ukrainian head of state Wolodymyr Selenskyj, US President Donald Trump spread optimism for an early peace agreement. He believes that a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine is possible and that it will also be sustainable, Trump said when visiting Great Britain Prime Minister Keir Strander in the White House. According to the French head of state Emmanuel Macron, the strange is the second European that Trump welcomes after taking office in the White House.
Trump: Know Putin for a long time
About Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin said Trump: “I think he will hold his word. (…) I spoke to him, I’ve known him for a long time.” He assumes that a deal will hold. When asked by the press whether it was likely that Putin would attack Ukraine again, Trump said: “No, I don’t think so.”
Trump renewed his skepticism for Ukraine’s NATO accession. “It won’t happen.” When it comes to returning parts of the Ukrainian area conquered by Russia, Trump was somewhat more optimistic. “We will surely try to get back as much as we can.”
European peacekeepers are sticking point
Trump also commented on the question of European peace troops to secure a possible ceasefire in Ukraine. He emphasized that a peace agreement was needed before you could talk about peacekeepers. “I don’t want to talk about peacekeeping as long as we have no agreement,” said the Republican. On Monday he still said Putin would accept European peace troops in Ukraine – Moscow contradicted.
The British Prime Minister thanked Trump to have directed the discussion about the Russian attack war in one direction, so that there is now the opportunity for a peace agreement. “We want to work with them to ensure that this peace agreement is of a long time that it will enter into history as a historical agreement and nobody breaks it,” said Starmer to Trump.
Trump will meet Selenskyj in Washington on Friday morning. Both want to sign an agreement on US access to important raw materials that are stored in Ukraine. “We will really sign this agreement for both sides,” said Trump. The United States will give access to the country.
Trump renewed his perspective that an economic presence of the United States in Ukraine was also a security guarantee for the country. “I don’t think anyone is playing around when we have a lot of workers there and have to do with rare earths that we need for our country,” he said in the presence of Strander.
As in the past, the US President also seemed to try to put a provocative statement made by him. When asked about his dictator statement about Selenskyj, he didn’t want to know anything about it. “Did I say that? I can’t believe that I said that. The next question,” said Trump to a corresponding demand whether he still believes that Selenskyj is a “dictator”.
Trump wrote on the Truth Social online platform on February 19: “As a dictator without elections, Selenskyj should better act quickly, otherwise he will no longer have a country.” The statement was sharply criticized internationally. Ukraine has been defending itself against the War of Russia for a good three years.
