Details: When asked whether he considers Ukraine an equal participant in the peace talks, Trump said: “That’s an interesting question”.
Quote: “I think they have to make peace, their people are getting killed, and I think they have to make peace. That was not a good word to go into, and I think they have to make peace. That’s what I think.”
Details: When asked if Trump supported Zelenskyy giving up territory or exchanging it to end the war, he replied: “He’s going to have to do what he has to do, his poll numbers aren’t great, to put it mildly.”
However, Trump does not believe that there is a danger that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s participation in the negotiations will be frozen.
Background:
- The US president also said that it is unlikely that Ukraine will return to the pre-2014 borders, hinting that the country will have to cede territory to Russia to end the war.
- Donald Trump announced that he plans to meet with Russian ruler Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia.
