“ US President Donald Trump said that he will not allow the war in Ukraine to escalate to the level of a global conflict. Source: Trump at a press conference at the White House on October 16. Details: During a call with reporters, Trump talked about his recent phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin and plans to meet with him in Hungary. According to him, the negotiations are aimed at finding ways to end the war. “I got into this situation – I didn’t start this war. It’s Biden’s business. And it could be a mess that would lead to the Third World War. In my opinion, it could happen. But it won’t happen,” Trump emphasized. He noted that he intends to “save lives” and promote peace in Europe. According to him, the Biden administration made strategic mistakes that led to a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, while during his presidency, such aggression would not have happened. “I’m doing it to save souls. That’s all I’m doing it for. I’m not doing it for us – there’s an ocean between us. But I want to help Europe. They want the war to end, but they can’t do it. But I can,” Trump said. Separately, the US president touched on the topic of relations between the leaders of Ukraine and Russia, calling them “terrible”, which makes it difficult to organize joint meetings. He also confirmed that he had discussed with Putin the supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, noting that the Russian ruler was “very unhappy” about the idea. Background: The leaders of the United States and Russia held their first conversation in almost two months on Thursday. After that, Donald Trump said that the leaders will hold another meeting – this time in Budapest. As you know, the next day, October 17, Trump is scheduled to meet with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi. One of the key topics at it will be the issue of the possible supply of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. The Kremlin said that Putin told Trump that the Tomahawks would not change the situation on the battlefield, but would harm relations between the Russian Federation and the United States. In addition, according to Trump, now is not the best time to introduce new sanctions against Russia, as this could complicate or derail the planned meeting with Putin.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
