Former President Donald Trump recently expressed his disagreement with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky's assessment of his ability to end Russia's war on Ukraine. Trump humorously remarked that he should cancel his appointment upon hearing Zelensky's comments, indicating that he believes he understands the situation. Despite disagreeing with Zelensky, Trump expressed confidence in his ability to broker a deal between President Putin and President Zelensky swiftly.
In response, Zelensky shared his skepticism about Trump's understanding of how to halt the war, suggesting that the complexities of the conflict may be beyond Trump's grasp. Trump, however, remained optimistic about his potential to facilitate peace talks between the involved parties.
When questioned about the possibility of Ukraine ceding territory to Russia as a resolution to the conflict, Trump chose to keep his stance ambiguous, stating, 'We'll see what happens.' He emphasized that his goal is to save lives and reiterated that his approach does not equate to surrender, emphasizing the importance of preserving human lives.
Trump underscored that while the conflict is not directly his, he views it as a crucial battle to safeguard humanity. He conveyed his message to Zelensky, emphasizing the urgent need for peace and expressing a desire to work towards achieving a peaceful resolution.
