President Donald Trump told reporters Thursday that the United States will be “hearing” from Russia “this week” on the US proposal for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, Americandiary24 reports citing CNN.
“We’re going to be hearing from them this week, very shortly, actually, and we’ll see. But we want it to stop. We want the death and the killing to stop,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff are meeting with Ukrainian officials in Paris at a summit Thursday aimed at bolstering Ukraine’s defenses against Russia’s ongoing attacks.
The president was asked Thursday about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and again claimed that the war between Russia and Ukraine would not have started if he had been president.
“I don’t hold Zelenskyy responsible, but I’m not exactly thrilled with the fact that that war started. That was a war that would have never started if I were president,” Trump told reporters, adding that he’s not a “big fan” of Zelenskyy.
