Putin's Ukraine War Messaging

Kremlin Response to Conspiracy Claims


US President Donald Trump expressed his disappointment with the attitude of Russian President Vladimir Putin during an interview on the Scott Jennings Radio Show.

In particular, Trump declared himself very disappointed with Putin, saying that his Russian counterpart knows this and that we had a wonderful relationship.

Referring to the war in Ukraine , he emphasized that thousands of people are dying - they are not Americans, they are Ukrainians and Russians - in a war that makes no sense and would not have started if I were president, and this bothers me because the elections were completely rigged, and this is a shame.

We'll see what happens, but I'm very disappointed with Putin, I can say this, he said and continued: We'll do something to help people live – it's not a question of Ukraine , it's about people who are dying living. Seven thousand people are dying every week, mostly soldiers.

"If I can stop this, I feel I have an obligation to do so," he continued.

It doesn't worry me.

Asked about the risk of forming an axis of countries against the United States, in which China and Russia could participate, he replied that he was not concerned about such a possibility.

His statements came a day after the summit hosted by Chinese President Xi Jinping in Tianjin, which was attended by, among others, Russian President Vladimir Putin , Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders.
