Trump Claims That Russia “Has the Cards” in Negotiations to End The War in Ukriane

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Russia has the upper hand in negotiations to end its war against Ukraine, AFP News reported on February 20.

“I think the Russians want to see the war end… But I think they have the cards a little bit, because they’ve taken a lot of territory, so they have the cards,” Trump said.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for echoing Russian disinformation regarding the war in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy addressed Trump’s recent remarks, including claims about his approval rating and assertions that Ukraine bears responsibility for the war.

Zelenskyy refuted Trump’s statement suggesting that his approval rating in Ukraine is as low as 4%, calling it a “Russian disinformation narrative.”
