“At the same time, he again put the blame for solving the war on the Ukrainian President and his predecessor”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
“I think you will have good offers very soon,” Trump said during a meeting with President Salvador Naib Bukele in the White House.
At the same time, he again put the blame for the war on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and his predecessor Joe Biden.
“I’m not saying someone is an angel. But in my cadence, Putin didn’t even mention it. And Biden kept the prices of oil so high that Russia was no longer stopped. Zelensky could stop it, Biden could, and Putin didn’t have to go for it. It is not necessary to start a war with those who are 20 times larger and then ask for missiles in others, ”Trump said.
“All I can try to stop (war against Ukraine – ed.). And, I think, we get well, ”the US President added.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump on April 14, on his social network, Truth Social said that there were no problems with Russia under his previous presidency, and Putin and the world were “respected” by the United States. He stressed that he has nothing to do with the present war, but “working hard to stop death and destruction.”
This is not the first time Donald Trump publicly places responsibility for the war.
Earlier, in February 2025, Trump called Zelensky a “dictator without elections” and accused him of “horrific work” to prevent war. Trump’s statement was condemned by world and European politicians.
US President Donald Trump said the negotiations on the end of Russia’s war against Ukraine “may go normally”. He told the journalists on board Air Force One, adding that “there is a moment when it is necessary to either act or silence.”
In recent weeks, there have been several meetings, telephone calls between Ukraine and the US, also separately between the Russian Federation and the US on ceasefire in the war of Russia against Ukraine.
In particular, on March 11, US representatives managed to obtain from Ukraine consent to a 30-day truce. Russian President Putin did not reject this idea, but put forward his conditions.
On April 11, the US Presidential Specialist Steve Witcoff held a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The negotiations lasted more than four hours.
The Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the parties would discuss “various aspects of Ukrainian settlement”, and the Kremlin intends to convey “basic elements of the position and concern of Russia” directly to US President Donald Trump.
