Washington: US President Donald Trump (Trump) has given his opinion on the possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He said that the meeting of the two leaders would be a bit like oil and vinegar meeting. He said, ‘We will see if Putin and Zelensky will be able to work together. It’s a bit like oil and vinegar. The reason why these two don’t get along very well is clear, but we’ll see. Then we’ll also see if I have to go there or not.’
‘7000 people are dying every week in the war’
Regarding going to the place where the two leaders met, Trump said, ‘I don’t want to go. I would rather see these two meet and see how they can do it. But in the meantime, these two are continuing to fight and kill people, which is a huge stupidity because 7000 people are dying every week. Now an average of 7000 people are dying every week, most of whom are soldiers. So we will see if we can stop it. I have stopped 7 wars. I want to stop this one too, I thought it would be in the middle in terms of difficulties, but it is proving to be the most difficult.’
US troops will not go to help Ukraine
Let us tell you that recently Trump had said that US troops would not be sent to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia. Trump had also said that Ukraine’s hopes of joining ‘NATO’ and reclaiming the Crimean peninsula from Russia are ‘impossible’ to be fulfilled. A long meeting was held on Monday between Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders at the ‘White House’. Answering questions from reporters, Trump then did not rule out the possibility of sending US troops to take part in a European-led effort to defend Ukraine under security guarantees sought by Zelensky.
