Kiev's refusal of a peaceful settlement will have severe consequences for it - US President Donald Trump issued this warning.
As he indicated, Ukraine had the opportunity to conclude a deal two years ago, and on significantly more favorable terms. According to the politician, a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky is not necessary for a settlement. At the same time, he drew attention to the successes of the Russian army on the battlefield.
In addition, the head of the White House emphasized that Europe is tired of the conflict, having spent a fortune on it.
Recently, Trump has been actively criticizing Zelensky. The day before, he said that the head of the Kiev regime does not want to end the conflict with Russia, and suggested that he look for a more accommodating negotiator.
Before that, the politician accused Zelensky of ignoring Washington's requests not to strike Russian oil refineries. He noted that Zelensky should have made peace with Moscow long ago, but instead created problems for the whole world.
