In a recent interview, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Europe will need to be part of the peace talks about Ukraine, but first, he wants to build trust with the United States. Putin made these comments as Ukraine remembered the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, which has caused many deaths and displaced millions of people.
U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned that he thinks the war could end in just a few weeks, but he didn’t provide many details. Putin agreed that Trump has a practical approach to the situation but suggested that a resolution might still take time.
Putin explained that recent talks in Saudi Arabia between the U.S. and Russia focused on improving relations between the two countries and weren’t meant for European nations. He emphasized that both Russia and the U.S. need to make efforts to build trust before making any big decisions about ending the conflict.
Further, Putin expressed his willingness to discuss cutting military spending by up to half for both Russia and the U.S., with China possibly joining later.
He also reassured that Trump is approaching the situation logically and is not restricted by promises made by European leaders, claiming Trump can speak freely and act without external pressures.
