"No favorites": Trump was asked if he really proposes to recognize Crimea

To spread: US President Donald Trump skillfully evaded the answer to the questions of journalists as to the proposal to recognize Crimea in Russian: instead, he stated that he was "still" and that he "has no favorites" in the Russian-Ukrainian war. At the same time, he said that it was necessary to "agree with Vladimir Zelensky" and thought that it would be easier to make contact with him.

" This was stated by the American leader when communicating with journalists in the Oval office late on the evening of April 23 in Kyiv time. One of the representatives of the press asked Trump whether his new plan to reach a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, presented in London on April 23, provides for a requirement to recognize Crimea in Russian. Donald Trump replied that the main thing for him is that "they both (Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin) signed a peace agreement.

" "I just want the war to end. I don't care - if they are both satisfied, they will both sign an agreement," the US President said. He also added that he "does not want to be favor" in this war on both sides, and that he really does not. "I do not want me to be favor. The US president also stated that the most important issue is the end of the war, and that with President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky it is more difficult to agree on a peace agreement than he hoped.

While talking to journalists, Trump traditionally mentioned his predecessor Joe Baiden, accusing him that he "was not supposed to allow this war. " It is worth noting that on the evening of April 23, a spokeswoman for White House Caroline Levitt also reproached Zelensky for being "moving in the wrong direction". She added that Trump will soon "break into patience. " As for the news about Crimea, Levitt noted that Donald Trump did not ask Zelensky to recognize Crimea in Russian.
