The approach of the President of the United States Donald Trump to the crisis in Ukraine emphasizes the difficulty of reaching a quick solution to the conflict. This is what the head of the German Ministry of Defense Boris Pistorius said, n-tv reports. "The events of the last few months give little reason to hope that Trump's approach can quickly lead to a ceasefire or even peace," the minister said. Pistorius added that the potential termination of an agreement between Russia and the US without the participation of Ukraine "is not acceptable to both Kyiv and Europe". Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said that Europeans cannot decide who is authorized to speak to Russia on their behalf. He emphasized that Moscow recognizes "prolonged indecision and lack of readiness" on their part.
