U.S. President Donald Trump claims that the Ukrainian crisis will be settled very soon.
He set out this position during a speech in the state of North Carolina.
"We are working hard on [a settlement between] Russia and Ukraine. I have settled eight conflicts, but the most difficult one is between Russia and Ukraine," Trump said, adding that the Ukrainian crisis, in his opinion, "is provoking a rise in diesel fuel prices." "But all of this will end very soon," he believes.
