Kiev Not Yet Willing Enough to Reach Peaceful Settlement, Trump Says

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – US President Donald Trump told reporters that the Ukrainian authorities are not yet showing enough willingness for a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Russia.

While aboard the presidential plane returning to Washington from Florida, he was asked whether the US would resume aid to Ukraine if Kiev signed an agreement with Washington on Ukrainian resources.

"Well, I think they would sign the minerals deal. But I want them to want peace," Trump said, TASS reported.

A reporter asked the president how Kiev could demonstrate this willingness. "Well, right now, they haven't shown it to the extent that they should. I think right now they haven't, but I think they will, and I think it's going to become evident over the next two to three days," the US president stated.
