WASHINGTON, July 5. US President Donald Trump believes the situation around Ukraine is very complex.
"We talked about different things. We had a very good conversation, I think a very strategic conversation," the US leader told reporters, commenting on his July 4 phone conversation with Vladimir Zelensky. "It's a pretty complicated situation," he told a White House news conference.
Trump also noted that he was "very unhappy" with his July 3 phone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. "He wants to go all the way," the US leader said, expressing doubts about Moscow's willingness to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. "[It] is not good," he stressed.
On July 2, The New York Times, citing its sources, reported that Washington would suspend the delivery of several weapons to Kiev, including Patriot anti-aircraft missiles, GMLRS precision-guided munitions, Hellfire cruise missiles and Stinger portable anti-aircraft missile systems. At the same time, Trump said on July 3 that Washington continues to provide military assistance to Kiev, but he also assumes that Washington itself needs the weapons.
In a phone conversation with Trump on July 3, Putin said Moscow was still waiting for dates for a new round of talks with the Kiev regime. According to Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov, the issue of Washington ending arms supplies to Kiev was not addressed in the talks between the Russian and US leaders.
