Trump: Without me, Ukraine would not have lasted two days

Expectations of compromises from the conflicting parties

US President Donald Trump expressed the conviction that for the resolution of the conflict, both sides must be ready for mutual concessions. The aforementioned politician emphasised that he has already proposed the relevant steps and made significant efforts to implement them.

«Я запропонував ці поступки, і, знаєте, ми доклали до цього великих зусиль… Я хочу, щоб кожна зі сторін пішла на певні поступки, і думаю, вони це зроблять» (I proposed these concessions, and, you know, we put in a lot of effort… I want each side to make certain concessions, and I think they will), the head of state told journalists at the White House.

Assessment of the role of American aid

Commenting on the current state of affairs, Trump made a statement regarding Kyiv's dependence on US military support. According to him, without the equipment provided by the American side, Ukraine would not have lasted even one or two days.

«Україна не протрималася б і одного-двох днів без обладнання, яке я їм надав» (Ukraine would not have lasted even one or two days without the equipment I provided them), the US president noted.
