The US President noted that Ukraine and Russia are suffering huge losses on the battlefield.

US President Donald Trump said he finds it harder to work with Ukraine than with Russia, saying Kiev has “no trump cards.”

The American leader made this statement during his speech to journalists in the Oval Office.

“I believe Putin, everything is fine with Russia and me. But now they are bombing Ukraine. To be honest, it is more difficult for me with Ukraine, and they have no trump cards. Right now Russia is bombing the hell out of Ukraine,” he added.

In addition, Trump repeated that he would not have allowed the war in Ukraine if he had been the US president earlier.

“I think if I were not president, there would be no chance of this war being resolved. Zero chance. But I think we will resolve it and stop it. We have to stop it. They are losing an average of 2,000 soldiers a week. That’s a lot of soldiers. I think Putin is doing what any other person would do. I think he wants it stopped and settled, and I think he is hitting them harder than he has in the past. And I think that’s probably what anyone would do now. And I think Ukraine wants to end it, they are taking huge losses,” he stressed.

In addition, the American leader confirmed that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is taking advantage of the fact that the United States has restricted Ukraine’s access to intelligence and military aid:

“Anyone in his place would have done the same thing.”
