US President Donald Trump made a statement following the meeting between Russia and the US in Saudi Arabia. According to him, Russia performed well, according to Trump's press conference at the White House.
"Russia wants to do something they want to stop the Savage barbarianism I mean what's going on over there it's soldiers are being killed by the thousands on a weekly basis it's ridiculous and they're not American soldiers they're Russian soldiers and they're Ukrainian soldiers largely although a lot of Koreans have been killed as you know uh quite a bit of them have been killed," Trump stated.
He called the war senseless and reiterated that it wouldn't have happened during his presidency.
"I see pictures that you don't see but I see pictures of fields that look just horrible looks like Gettysburg. If you see the old pictures of Gettysburg it's soldiers lying all over the field body parts all over the field they're all dead. I think people are going to be surprised at how many people not only soldiers have been killed in Ukraine," the US president said.
Negotiations in Saudi Arabia
On February 18, talks were held in Saudi Arabia between US and Russian delegations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy postponed his visit to the country, as he did not want a coincidence of meetings between Russian and American officials. He called such a meeting a discussion about Ukraine without Ukraine’s participation and stated that he would not recognize the results of the negotiations.
