US President Donald Trump made a significant statement regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. While speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, Trump announced that he would make a major and pivotal decision regarding this war within the next two weeks. He hinted at imposing severe sanctions or tariffs on Russia, or alternatively advising Ukraine that this is not America's war.
Trump's decision will hinge on the events of the next two weeks. He has been advocating for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump stated, 'I want both leaders to sit down together. If they don't, I will need to explore why it hasn't happened.'
Donald Trump expressed his displeasure with the ongoing conflict, mentioning a recent report of a Russian missile strike on an American factory in Ukraine, which did not please him. He asserted, 'I derive no joy from this war. I've prevented seven wars and averted three potential ones. The forthcoming two weeks will reveal which direction this issue will take.'
Trump's Hint at Stopping 10 Wars
The American President reiterated his claim of thwarting a potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. He declared, 'I've halted seven wars and prevented three potential conflicts, totaling ten wars. We stopped the looming nuclear war between India and Pakistan.' Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Thursday that President Putin is ready to meet his Ukrainian counterpart, Zelenskyy, provided that all issues concerning the Moscow-Kyiv conflict are thoroughly addressed by experts and ministers.
Putin Ready to Meet Zelenskyy
Lavrov commented, 'Russian President Putin has repeatedly indicated his readiness to meet Zelenskyy, once all related issues are thoroughly worked out.' Trump stressed his desire for both parties to engage in serious talks to end the war, while also accusing Russia and Ukraine of not making earnest efforts to conclude the conflict. According to Trump's assertions, the next two weeks could be pivotal for the future resolution of this war.
