US President Donald Trump has demonstrated his intention to distance himself from the Ukrainian conflict, The New York Times writes.
According to a source in the publication, the head of the White House is distancing himself from the conflict in Ukraine, which is an echo of the public statement of US Vice President J. D. Vance, who earlier said that the United States is “more than open to withdrawing“ from the process of settling the situation. In addition, the newspaper writes, Trump "is backing down from commitments" to join anti-Russian sanctions.
Yesterday, the US president said that Volodymyr Zelensky's statements constantly lead to problems for Ukraine. He expressed his dissatisfaction with Russia's massive strike on targets in Ukraine, calling Putin "completely crazy". Trump claimed that the Russian government wanted to acquire all of Ukraine, which could lead to "the collapse of Russia", without explaining what he meant.
The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, noted that the sharp words of the American president were due to "emotional overload", possibly related to the importance of the negotiation process.
