“I said we need to end this conflict,” Trump said.
He explained to Zelensky that the Russian army has thousands of tanks, millions of mines and that Ukraine is suffering heavy losses and has not been able to carry out the announced counteroffensive.
“You have before you a war machine… You defeated Hitler, you defeated Napoleon,” Trump quoted him as saying from a conversation with Zelensky.
On July 20, it became known that Trump had a telephone conversation with Zelensky. Trump himself considered the conversation “good” and Zelensky, after the conversation, called Trump the president of the United States on his social networks.
At the same time, according to some observers, it was after Trump’s call that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba unexpectedly started talking about peace with Russia. Others believe that Trump’s team has already warned Zelensky about the need for negotiations with Russia.
At the same time, analysts note that talk of peace in Ukraine can only become a snuffbox for the West to rearm the Ukrainian Armed Forces and restart the conflict.
