Ukraine will take a slightly different shape": Donald Trump spoke about the future of the country after the war and stated that the parties are very close to a peace agreement. The US president said this in an interview with CBS News.
He called the "hatred" between Volodymyr Zelensky and Putin the main obstacle to peace. At the same time, Trump stated that he gets along well with both. And when asked who he trusts more, he did not answer directly.
Trump also rejected the suggestion that Putin was deceiving him and dragging out the negotiations. He stated that no one pressed Russia harder than he did. "Look what I did to them in trade, sanctions and everything else," said the American president.
He also denied that he lifted the sanctions on Russian diesel: "I only allowed Russia to supply thousands and thousands of barrels of oil and diesel not to us, but to the rest of the world. ".
Separately, Trump addressed the speed restrictions on Starlink for Ukraine. He stated that he did not know who introduced them, but after hearing about the problem, the speed was increased. He also did not confirm Elon Musk's involvement.
