"Astronomical" losses and "ruins": Trump spoke about peace in Ukraine, Zelensky and Putin

"We try to stop the war, the horrific, horrific war that takes place in Ukraine, Russia, Ukraine. We are striving to make little progress, it's difficult, it's unpleasant, it's disgusting," he said. The American leader stressed that the number of dead on both sides is probably much higher than the data. He explained that the high number of dead on the front is facilitated by relief. "People are killed at levels that no one has ever seen.

These are very equal fields, and the only thing that stops the ball is the body, the human body," the politician said. According to him, the number of fallen fighters on both sides is "astronomical". Trump has promised to do everything possible to stop fire and warned that Ukraine would see less assistance from the United States as soon as it has been gaining power. The newly elected president was asked if Ukraine should give way to the territories occupied by Russia.

He replied that there is no whole building on the captured lands and there is nowhere to return. "There is nothing, just ruins," the leader said. According to him, to restore cities after the Russian-Ukrainian war can take up to 100 years. According to The New York Times, the Republican refused to answer whether he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the elections. However, he assured that under his supervision Russia would not have fallen into the territory of Ukraine.

The publication noted that the invasion took place in 2014 - before Trump's first cadence. His presidency did not allow to avoid the expansion of hostilities later in 2022. Trump said he had talked to President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky when he was in France on the opening of the restored cathedral of Our Lady of Paris. The Washington Post conveyed that he also shared that he did not invite Zelensky to his inauguration.
