Putin 'destroying' Russia by refusing Ukraine deal: Trump
 697 Tuesday, 21 January, 2025, 13:49 US President Donald Trump said Monday that Vladimir Putin was "destroying Russia" by not making a deal to end the war with Ukraine. "He should make a deal. I think he's destroying Russia by not making a deal," Trump told reporters on his return to the Oval Office. "I think Russia's going to be in big trouble." The comments mark an unusually critical stance by Trump on Putin, for whom he has voiced admiration in the past. Trump also said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had told him that he wanted a peace agreement to end the war, which started when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. "Zelensky wants to make a deal," said Trump, who has repeatedly criticized the Ukrainian leader in the past. Trump during his campaign vowed quickly to end the Ukraine war, with his aides suggesting leveraging US aid to force Kyiv to make concessions. |
