Kremlin Says It Assumes Trump Is Still Committed to Work on Ukraine Peace
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Kremlin said on Thursday that it assumed US President Donald Trump was still committed to work toward achieving peace in Ukraine, after the US leader abruptly shifted his rhetoric in Kiev’s favor earlier this week.
Trump said on Tuesday after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he believed that Kiev could recapture all of its land taken by Russia – which controls around one-fifth of the country – and that it should act now, with Moscow facing economic problems, Reuters reported.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow assumed the Trump administration maintained the political will to find a solution to the war, and that Russia was ready to engage in peace negotiations.
