rbc.ua (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump said he does not call Vladimir Putin a dictator because he needs to make deals with him, emphasizing his self-described skill as a negotiator. He argued that public insults complicate diplomatic agreements. In an interview with Gray Media, Trump contrasted his approach with former President Joe Biden, whom he accused of mocking Russia and contributing to the war in Ukraine. Trump claimed such rhetoric was a factor, though he provided no evidence. Trump reiterated that he avoids ridiculing leaders with significant nuclear arsenals, stating that deal-making has been key to his success. He did not offer specific proof linking Biden's statements to Russia's invasion.
