When asked what responsibility Russia would bear for the reconstruction of Ukraine after an agreement to end the war was concluded, Trump replied that the Russians would help.
“Russia wants Ukraine to succeed. It sounds a little strange, but I explained to the president … Putin was very sincere in his desire for Ukraine to succeed, including the supply of energy, electricity and other things at very low prices,” Trump said.
The American president explained that he spoke about this with Putin during their telephone conversation before the meeting with Zelensky.
In addition, Putin, according to Trump, allegedly wants a trilateral meeting with the participation of Zelensky. The head of the White House did not reject such an idea, but noted that this requires “the right time.”
“Putin wants this to happen. He told me that very clearly, and I believe him,” Trump said.
