Quote: "I thought we were very close with Russia to having a deal. I thought we were very close with Ukraine to having a deal. In fact, other than President Zelenskyy, his people loved the concept of the deal."
Details: According to Trump, the US plan consists of "four or five parts". He acknowledged that the negotiation process is difficult, since the document envisages a division of territory.
Trump also compared the diplomatic efforts to his business experience, noting that achieving an end to the war in Ukraine is a thousand times harder than closing a property deal.
Background:
- On 8 December, Trump boasted that under his presidency the US is not only not spending money to support Ukraine in its war against Russia, but is actually making money from it.
- The Kremlin welcomed recent statements by the US president, including claims about Russia's advantage on the battlefield in Ukraine and about the impossibility of Ukraine's NATO membership.
- Trump had previously claimed that Russia had agreed to the "peace plan", while President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had not even read it.
