According to the American diplomat, the only way to solve these problems is to "return to pragmatism" and also "to seriousness."
The US has a role to play here. We have supported Ukraine, but this war must end.
Trump made a new statement about Russia's war against Ukraine
On January 20, the new head of the White House announced that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky really wants to conclude an agreement to end the war.
Donald Trump is hoping that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will also come to his senses and agree to peace talks.
I think Russia has big problems. Just look at the inflation in Russia... I would hope that he (Putin — ed.) wants to make a deal. He can't be happy that things aren't going so well for him.
According to Donald Trump, Putin is personally destroying Russia by continuing to wage a war of aggression against Ukraine.
