Yesterday, Donald Trump spoke at an event where he made several controversial statements, most notably claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly asked him to help end the war in Ukraine. According to Trump, this conversation took place two weeks ago. Trump quoted Putin as saying: "We have been trying to end this war for 10 years, but we have not succeeded. Now it is up to you to settle this."
An expert notes that such statements from Trump are subject to doubt and are often seen as manipulative tactics. It is emphasized that Trump frequently uses rhetoric to serve his own goals rather than to inform the public. His statements about the Russia-Ukraine war can change significantly week by week, ranging from comments about Russia's imminent defeat to claims that Ukraine is on the verge of catastrophe.
The expert also points out a shift in China's position, as China now refrains from playing an active role in resolving the conflict. Regarding Trump's claim about Putin's request, it is suggested that this is likely an exaggeration intended to amplify Trump's significance on the world stage. Genuine negotiations to end the war can only occur with official delegations and agreed initiatives.
In conclusion, experts recommend treating such statements from Donald Trump with caution, seeing them more as political tools of influence rather than sources of reliable information.
