Russia is not ceasing fire. Putin wants to kill more civilians. This must be stopped."
New decisions and new pressure on Moscow are needed to bring an end to these strikes and this war,
On Monday we mainly intend to discuss President Putin's agreement to resume the so-called Black Sea initiative, and our negotiators will be ready to discuss the nuances around this problem,
We are only at the beginning of this path,
There are difficult negotiations ahead,
I don’t think there’s anybody in the world that is going to stop [Russian President Vladimir Putin], except me,
And I think I’m going to be able to stop him,
We've had some very rational discussions, and I just want to see the people stop getting killed. They're losing 2,500 young kids a week, and they're Russian and they're Ukrainian,
So, I know him very well. It's amazing that we didn't get into any major skirmishes because of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax,
He didn't invade anything when I was president,
I liked him. I thought he was straight up with me,
Not because... he could become the president of the United States, but because he had a friendship with him and he was praying for his friend,
I don't regard Putin as a bad guy. That is a complicated situation, that war, and all the ingredients that led up to it,
Both (Trump and Putin) leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace. The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their people,
