Trump repeatedly declared a quick end to the war in Ukraine and claimed that he had contributed to ending eight other armed conflicts, but commentators believe that his influence was limited and the declarations were exaggerated.
During Tuesday's speech in Maryland, US President Donald Trump once again referred to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The politician emphasized that he was actively working to bring it to an end. I'm working on it. I thought it would be the easiest to end, we have ended eight wars and this one will end soon, Trump assured.
He also talked about the number of victims of the conflict and expressed his belief that the end of hostilities was very close. So many people are dying in this war. This is absurd, he said.
Lack of specifics and commentators are cautious
Despite optimistic declarations, the president did not provide any details about his actions to end the war. This is not the first time Donald Trump has announced the imminent end of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
In the past, he has also repeatedly emphasized that he contributed to ending eight other armed conflicts. However, according to commentators, although Trump had some influence on settling some disputes, his declarations are exaggerated.
Zelensky warns against a Russian attack
At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukrainian intelligence had information about Russia's preparations to carry out a massive attack. The situation on the front remains tense, and Trump's statements are not reflected in the reports from Ukraine.
