"US do not participate in this war": Trump commented a massive blow to Kiev (video)

Nevertheless, Trump decided to try to stop the confrontation. "But I think what Russia is doing is very sad. Many Russians die. (…) Ukrainians die. You know, the United States does not really participate in this war. And they should not," he said. Trump reminded that he concluded an agreement for which NATO pays Washington for everything he sends Ukraine. According to him, Americans supply ammunition, rockets, etc. , but "pay nothing for this war.

" At the same time, the Republican stressed that it should be stopped and called it shame. "They are now losing 7,000 soldiers a week. Ukrainian soldiers and Russian soldiers. And they also lose people in cities and towns because Putin is firing them with rockets. No, I think it is shameful," the US president said. He confirmed that Washington was going to impose sanctions against Russia. However, Trump is not sure that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not indifferent to it.

"I do not know if the sanctions are disturbed. You know, they know about sanctions," he said. The president does not know if there will be sanctions "some effect". However, he assured that they were going to be introduced. According to him, Europe is "very upset", but the wars in Ukraine "should not be" and it would not have happened if Trump was president. "It was a stupid war that did not need to be stuck. It was not necessary to get in it," he added.

We will remind, the acting deputy permanent representative of the United States at the UN John Kelly stated that in Russia and Ukraine there was a time until August 8 to agree on the truce and the achievement of sustainable peace. According to him, Americans are "ready to take additional measures" for this. On the night of July 31, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation attacked Kyiv rockets and drones.
