- US President Donald Trump said he believed that Kyiv could recapture all of its land taken by Russia and that it should act now
MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Thursday that it assumed US President Donald Trump was still committed to work toward achieving peace in Ukraine, after the US leader abruptly shifted his rhetoric in Kyiv’s favor earlier this week.
Trump said on Tuesday after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he believed that Kyiv could recapture all of its land taken by Russia – which controls around one-fifth of the country – and that it should act now, with Moscow facing economic problems.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow assumed the Trump administration maintained the political will to find a solution to the war, and that Russia was ready to engage in peace negotiations.
