“There is a chance for success,” he said.
“I finished eight wars, but Zelensky and Putin hate each other and it makes everything difficult. But I think we are getting closer to a settlement,” Trump said.
He repeated his claims about the high death toll in the war and his desire to end the killing.
“I think we have a good chance of a deal,” Trump said.
A new round of negotiations regarding a potential peace agreement between the Russian Federation and Ukraine is expected on February 1. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the special representative of the US president, Steve Witkoff, and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will not go there, but that the participation of the US is “likely”.
It will be recalled that on January 29, US President Donald Trump said that he asked the ruler of Russia to pause the strikes “on Kyiv and other cities” for humanitarian reasons for a week, and he allegedly agreed. Trump himself did not specify when the “week” countdown was supposed to begin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said on January 30 that there were no direct agreements with Moscow regarding the cessation of Russian strikes on energy. He added that if Russia continues to fire at Ukraine, in particular to destroy its energy industry, then Kyiv will act in a mirror manner – and will also try to hit facilities that are involved in the maintenance of the Russian military machine.
