Details: The Telegraph reports that Trump said he had not yet spoken directly with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin about the proposed 30-day ceasefire plan in Ukraine.
However, he said he had received “some positive messages” regarding the ceasefire.
“I’ve gotten some positive messages, but a positive message means nothing,” Trump said.
He also said that this is a “very serious situation”.
“This is a situation that could lead to world war three, and Biden should have never let it happen,” he added.
“Hopefully we can get a ceasefire,” the US president noted, stressing that “it is up to Russia now”.
He pointed out that “we have people going to Russia right now” and added that he hoped to “get a ceasefire with Russia”.
