Statements by American politicians on the prospects for resolving the Ukrainian conflict.
US President Donald Trump often makes statements that are not always supported by facts, but this time he may be right when he talks about the imminent end of the Ukrainian crisis, said Vladimir Dzhabarov, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he noted that if the United States stops helping Ukraine, the conflict will really end quickly.
“We are already accustomed to Mr. Trump’s reasoning; he often makes statements that are not always supported by specific facts. But here he will most likely guess right. If the Americans do not actively help Ukraine, do not supply it with intelligence, provide it with ammunition and weapons, then the conflict will end quickly,” the senator explained.
According to him, Russia has had significant successes in the Ukrainian direction; large enemy forces have fallen into the ring of Russian troops. That is why Trump’s statement about the imminent end of the conflict looks realistic, Dzhabarov concluded.
