She recalled Trump's earlier statements that he wanted the war to end, but that"the leaders of the two countries must want the same." She added: "Maybe both sides of this war are not yet ready to end it."
At least 19 people, including four children, were killed and another 48 wounded in Russia's 13-hour attack on Kiev and almost all areas of Ukraine, including those far from the frontline.
Let us remind you that this morning, in airstrikes against Kiev, Russia hit the building where the EU delegation is located in the Ukrainian capital, causing significant damage to the building.
