Trump: "Discussing the Ukraine issue with Europe in a 'quite firm tone'"
U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 10th (local time) during a call with the heads of state of the UK, Germany, and France: "We discussed the Ukraine issue in a very firm tone."
During an event held at the White House that day, President Trump answered a journalist's question and said: "What will happen next, I mean, we are waiting for the response before we make progress."
President Trump added during the call: "I think there are some minor disagreements among people. I will see what the outcome will be." Then, the European side proposed a new round of talks from Europe to the United States and Ukraine this weekend, "We said that before the talks, we want to know some things. We will make a decision based on what they bring. We don't want to waste time."
President Trump criticized Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy, saying: "I think he should be more realistic." Because of the war, Ukraine has not held elections yet.
He also pointed out that Ukraine has "a large-scale corruption problem" and emphasized: "It seems like it's time to resolve the war now. I believe the war can be resolved, but the tango should be danced by two people."
