I believe that the Russians want to see an end to the war … But I believe that they have a pretty good hand, since they have taken a lot of territory, says Trump to reporters according to AFP.
The USA and Russia held a high-level meeting on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia, where the countries promised to re-establish diplomatic ties and continue talks about the war between them.
The meeting broke the Western world's sharp distancing from Russia since President Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion war against Ukraine almost three years ago.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has said that he will never agree to an agreement that has been negotiated over the Ukrainians' heads.
Trump has, after the meeting, in various statements launched harsh attacks on Zelenskyj, but not said anything critical about Putin.
