Donald Trump stated that Russia has “trump cards” in negotiations on Ukraine

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Russia has the “winning cards” in negotiations. According to him, Russia has an advantage because it has “seized a lot of territory.”

He made this statement to BBC while aboard Air Force One.

“I think the Russians want to end this war, I really do. I think they have the cards because they’ve taken a lot of territory,” Trump said.

At the same time, he noted that he “trusts” Russia when it speaks about its desire for peace.

It is worth mentioning that Western media recently reported that Trump wants to remove Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from power.

During a speech in Miami, the U.S. president stated that “Zelensky is doing a terrible job” and called him a “dictator.”
