The president of the United States, Donald Trump, was optimistic this Friday about the end of the conflict in Ukraine, despite his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, rejecting Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky’s recent proposal to sit down for talks to negotiate peace in the country.

“Let them take care of it. I’m the one who brought them here. I think it’s going to be resolved,” Trump said in statements to the press aboard the presidential plane, reiterating that it is a war that “never” should have broken out and that it would not have if he had been president of the U.S. in February 2022.
The Republican leader’s statements come after Zelensky urged Putin, in an extensive open letter released yesterday Thursday, to hold a meeting in a third country to negotiate peace in Ukraine.
However, the Russian president replied this Friday, stating that he “sees no point” in the meeting, pointing out that “the only objective” of the Ukrainian side for holding a possible meeting is to “stop the advance” of Russian troops in view of a possible truce during peace negotiations.
A few hours later, the head of state of Ukraine reacted by stating that “it is a weak response” and that Moscow “simply does not want to end the war.” “(Putin) does not want to change anything and does not want to admit that this war only benefits him and those who are enriching themselves at his expense,” he said.
