"Learned interesting things": Trump appeared in public and replied whether he spoke with Putin (video)

The US President answered the issue of peace talks and a potential meeting of President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin during a press before the press in the White House Oval office on September 2. It was his first official appearance in public after August 26. The journalist asked Donald Trump if he spoke with Vladimir Putin over the last week. "I have learned about things that will be very interesting.

You will learn about it in the coming days," the US President replied. The reporter also asked Trump, what measures the United States can take if Putin and Zelensky's meeting does not take place. In response, the American leader called the figures, according to him, the losses of the Armed Forces and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Russian-Ukrainian war for the last week. "Let's see what can happen. We will see what they will do. I am very careful about this.

Last week they lost 7 thousand soldiers in both countries. 7 313 soldiers, to be accurate, for no reason. Both Russian and Ukrainian soldiers. I want it to end," After meeting with Zelensky and European leaders and talking to Putin on August 19, Trump announced a tripartite meeting of leaders.

In an interview with the Daily Caller journalist Rees Ring, on August 29, Trump claimed that he did not believe in the meeting of Putin and Zelensky in bilateral format, and that, in his opinion, only a tripartite summit is possible. At the same time, he compared the war against Ukraine with the "fight of children on the playground". It should also be noted that US Finance Minister Scott Buzent announced the expansion of sanctions against the Russian Federation.
