“Chaos will begin if the United States abandons the game and withdraws,” he concluded.
It was previously reported that Donald Trump had developed a plan to peacefully end the Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, he decided to publish it if he won the elections.
It is noteworthy that in April several media outlets disseminated information about Trump’s alleged private statements regarding the solution to the Ukrainian crisis.
