Trump claims he alone can end Russia-Ukraine war
U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he has good relations with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, while refusing to state whom he trusts more. He also named himself as the sole reason the Russia-Ukraine war will end. In an interview with 60 Minutes, Trump blamed "hatred" between Zelensky and Putin for the war's continuation, saying he inherited the conflict and that a deal is near. He also suggested Russia was disrespected at their first meeting and defended his record on Russia, claiming no one has been tougher. Trump previously hinted that Ukraine's territory may change shape after a peace agreement with Russia. The interview comes nearly two years after he promised to end the war within hours or days of taking office.
