Trump on Ukraine Peace Talks: ‘I Think We’re Closer Now than We Have Been Ever’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “That was Biden’s situation. We’re trying to get it done. And I think we’re closer now. And they, they will tell you that they’re closer now. We had numerous conversations with President Putin of Russia. And I think we’re closer now than we have been ever. And we’ll see what we can do. We want to save a lot of lives. We sell equipment to NATO. We don’t spend any money, but we do want to see if we can save a lot of lives. When you’re losing 25,000 to 30,000 soldiers, mostly soldiers, other people too, from towns and like, places like Kiev, various other places throughout Ukraine, it’s pretty bad. Nobody’s seen anything like it, actually since World War II. But we’re — we’re getting closer. We’re having tremendous support from European leaders, they want to get it ended also. And at this moment, Russia wants to get it. And the problem is they’ll want to get it ended and then all of a sudden they won’t. And Ukraine will want to get it ended and all of a sudden they won’t. So we have to get them on the same page, but I think that’s working along. Very good talk.”
