The US president assessed the Truth Social platform that Ukraine should agree to the negotiations in Istanbul, if only to assess whether it would be possible to get along with Russia.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want an agreement on suspending fire with Ukraine, but he wants to meet on Thursday in Turkey to negotiate a possible ending of a bloody bathhouse. Ukraine should agree immediately. At least they will be able to determine if the agreement is possible, and if not, European leaders and the US will know what everything is standing, and they will be able to act properly!” – wrote Donald Trump.
However, he was not satisfied with the attitude of the President of Russia. “I'm starting to doubt if Ukraine gets along with Putin,” he admitted. Further, the American leader criticized Putin, “too busy with the celebration of victory in World War II, which could not be won without the United States of America.”
“Meeting, now !!!” Trump appealed at the end.
