In a recent interview, former U.S.

President Donald Trump warned the global community about misconceptions regarding Kremlin’s motives in the context of the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

According to Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin is not genuinely interested in ending the fire but instead is aiming to create conditions for a comprehensive and controlled agreement that allows him to maintain his position and safeguard his interests during a temporary pause in hostilities.

During a phone call with leaders of the U.S.

and Ukraine, Trump emphasized: “I believe that reaching a quick peace agreement is better than just a ceasefire.” In response, Ukrainian President Zelensky shared details of his talks with Trump and European leaders, and announced plans to visit Washington on Monday, August 18.

This underscores the increasing importance of dialogue between nations and efforts to find a long-term peace solution in the region.
