President Donald Trump has asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the war of approximately three years that Russia has introduced opposed to Ukraine and threatens to impose new sanctions on Moscow if the Russian leader agrees.
In a press release published on his true social platform, Trump said “he did not review to damage Russia” and expressed “love” for other Russian people while boasted of his “very intelligent relationship” with Putin, who in 2016 ordered What the Department of Justice described an effort of “scanning and systematic” to interfere with the presidential elections in Trump’s call.
Trump also pointed out that the former Soviet Union had lost 60 million people when it was combined in opposition to Nazi Germany and the United States and the United Kingdom World War II.
“All of that being said, I’m going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR. Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE,” Trump said.
The President added the risk that if a “deal” was not reached “soon,” he would not have “Selection yet to put the best tax titles, price lists and sanctions on anything sold through Russia to the United States and other attractive countries. “»
Trump added, “Get this war, which would never have started if I were president, with that!We can do it in the simplest or most complicated way, and the simple way is better. It’s time to “conclude an agreement”. No more life deserves not to be lost!
Trump has long vowed that he would end the war in Ukraine upon returning to the White House. He said it would end on the first day, but the war is on. So far, the U. S. has given more than $65 billion in military aid in Ukraine since 2022.
We do not know how good, if necessary, Russian goods would be an issue to succeed prices, because a series of restrictive sanctions taken through Biden’s management in concert with dozens of other countries paralyzed Russia’s economy and reduced Moscow to a giant component of the foreign bank and financing system.

They covered two major Russian oil manufacturers and exporters — Gazprom, Neft, and Surgutneftefuel — either in the export of fuels and liquefied herbal efforts to expand Russia’s power. sector in the Arctic.
Trump has not spoken with Putin since he swore on Monday, although the two leaders spoke the era of the transition according to last year’s presidential elections.
But the newly-minted 47th president said he and his aides are working to arrange a conversation.
On Monday, he told reporters that Putin “can’t be thrilled” about how the war is going and said Russia is “not doing so well” against Kyiv’s forces.
“I mean, he clashes it, however, the maximum idea that the war would have ended in a week, and now we are 3 years away. So it cannot be delighted, [that] does not make him look very well” , Trump said before adding that approximately 1 million Russian infantry soldiers and 700,000 Ukrainian infantry soldiers died in the war.
Trump also said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had told him he was looking for “an agreement to be concluded” to end the war.
“Zelensky needs to conclude an agreement. I don’t know if Putin Doesarray. . . concludes an agreement. I think it destroys Russia by not making a contract,” he said.
In response to Trump’s threat, Russia’s deputy UN ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy said Moscow would need to see what Trump’s definition of a “deal” would look like before coming to the negotiating table.
“It’s not just about ending war, it is above all about fighting the deep reasons for the Ukrainian crisis,” he said. “We will therefore have to do with what ‘Agreement’ means in the understanding of President Trump.
“It is guilty of what the United States has been doing in Ukraine since 2014, which makes it ‘anti-russia’ and preparing for war with us, however, it is now in its strength to avoid this malicious policy,” added Polyanskiy .
For his part, Zelensky told the participants in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday that he sat down with Trump in preparation.
“The teams have been working on a meeting; they are currently in the process,” he said.
“We are his partner. We all know the painful points; we have lost our other people, we need to finish the war this year,” he continued, adding that the Ukrainians were looking for the three -year clash to finish “not only quickly, however, and , above all, reliably for us. “
The Ukrainian leader met Trump last September in New York, while the president in the middle of his crusade opposed the president of the time, Kamala Harris.
At the time, Zelensky said he believed he and Trump shared “a non-unusual view that the war should be arrested and that Putin simply cannot win. “
Trump later told Fox News that he’d “learned a lot” from the sit-down and said both he and Zelensky “want to see this end” and “want to see a fair deal made.”
The two leaders have a checkered history dating back to July 2019, when Zelensky and Trump spoke on the telephone just after the Ukrainian leader sworn in as his country’s head of state.
At that time, Trump tried to use the risk of mandatory restriction for US military aid has a stop at the coveted White House to tense Zelensky to announce an investigation into Joe Biden, who was a former vice president who sought to challenge Trump in The 2020 elections.
