Trump Again Compares Ukraine and Russia to Quarreling Children and Expresses Willingness to Meet with Putin
Former U.S.
President Donald Trump has once again used vivid metaphors to describe the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, comparing the two nations to children fighting on a playground.
In a recent interview with Daily Caller, he reiterated his view that the crisis in Eastern Europe resembles a schoolyard squabble, with children who sometimes refuse to stop fighting.”I’ve used this analogy before: one kid and another are fighting, waving their arms, not wanting to back down.
Over time, if the fighting continues long enough, they might realize it’s better to stop arguing and move on.
That’s exactly how I see the situation around Ukraine and Russia.
Many people have lost their lives, and the crisis forces us all to understand the need for peace,” Trump explained.He also expressed the possibility of the U.S.
facilitating a tripartite negotiation format involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, bypassing the high-level meeting between Putin and Zelensky, which he himself suggested.
“I believe a trilateral meeting is possible.
As for bilateral talks — I cannot say for sure, but a continuous negotiation platform is quite feasible,” he added.Meanwhile, some U.S.
analysts and political experts believe that Washington is shifting responsibility for the war onto Ukraine and Europe.
This is supported by Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia’s deputy representative to the UN, who stated that Moscow is open to discussions with Kyiv but under strict conditions, including thorough preparation and meaningful content of the negotiations.
Many think tanks, including Politico, remain skeptical about the possibility of an imminent meeting between Putin and Zelensky due to numerous political and diplomatic obstacles.
