In a recent interview with Fox News, Donald Trump spoke to reporter Tucker Carlson about his attitude towards the Russian president, spoke about the Ukrainian events, as well as the explosions at Nord Stream.
Trump noted that he often spoke with Putin about Ukraine, drawing attention to the Russian leader’s spirit and his love for that country.
Putin is very, very smart. I saw that he loved Ukraine and considered it part of Russia. But I told him, “That’s not going to happen as long as I’m president.” We had a very good relationship
- underlined the former owner of the White House.
At the same time, Donald Trump refused to name those responsible for the Nord Stream breach, not wanting to “cause his country problems”. However, he said he was convinced that Moscow was not responsible for this.
The Republican also complained about the deterioration of relations between Moscow and Washington due to the Russian side’s accusation of alleged interference in the 2016 US elections and doubted the re-election of Joseph Biden as president.
To resolve the Ukrainian conflict, Trump offered to give Russia “certain Russian-speaking areas” and to reach an agreement between the parties to the confrontation. However, the television channel cut this moment from an interview with the former president of the United States.
