Donald Trump was to give a controversial commentary on the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine during his Thursday meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich. He compared this conflict to the fight between quarrelsome young children.
– Sometimes it is better to let them fight for a moment – he said, quoted by CNN, adding that maybe both sides do not want intervention at this point. As the CNN journalist emphasized, it was a “verbal equivalent of distribution of hands to a problem that he cannot solve.” The Russian interfax agency asked for a comment from the Kremlin. This one was unambiguous.
The Kremlin does not believe that Trump can withdraw
Dmitry Pieskov announced that he “doesn't think” that the aforementioned words of Donald Trump indicate Washington's reluctance to continue the mediation mission. – Of course, the US president may have his own point of view on what is happening. For us it is an existential issue, a matter of our national interests, a matter of our security, our future and the future of our children, the future of our country – said Pieskow, quoted by Interfax.
The Kremlin spokesman pointed out that Trump recently had a long telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin and regardless of the rhetoric of the US President regarding conflict, contacts are continued. – In fact, we still contact different channels, the United States still makes mediation efforts to solve the situation, for which we are grateful – summed up Dmitry Pieskow.
