US President-elect Donald Trump said that Ukraine wants to conclude a peace agreement with Russia. Trump made a corresponding statement on his social network Truth Social, commenting on the events in Syria.
The American leader said that Bashar al-Assad fled Syria under pressure from the rebels because his patron Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, "was no longer interested in protecting him."
"There was absolutely no reason for Russia to be there. They have lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where some 600 Russian soldiers lie wounded or dead in a war that should never have started and could go on forever.” Trump said.
He also added that Russia and Iran are now in a weakened state. Russia — because of Ukraine and the bad economy, Iran — because of Israel and its military successes.
"In the same way, Zelenskyi and Ukraine would like to conclude an agreement and stop the madness. They senselessly lost 400 soldiers and many more civilians. It is necessary to immediately cease fire and start negotiations. Too many lives have been wasted, too many families have been destroyed, and if this continues, it could turn into something much bigger and much worse. I know Volodymyr well. This is his time to act. China can help. The world is waiting," — Trump added.
