Since his victory, Trump has said little about what his administration’s policy on the Russian-Ukrainian war might be, but has repeatedly said the war must end.

To the journalist’s statement that Trump had promised to end the war between Russia and Ukraine within 24 hours and even before he officially became president, he replied: “I’m trying.”

Trump also said he has not been in contact with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin since winning the election. But then he quickly clarified that “I haven’t spoken to him recently.”

When asked if he spoke with the Russian leader after the election, Trump refused to answer, explaining that he did not want to undermine the negotiations.

Trump also said there were hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides of the conflict and that “this war should not have happened.”

Earlier on Sunday, Trump, after a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky in Paris on December 7 and against the backdrop of the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, announced the desire of Kyiv to conclude an agreement to stop the war .
