According to Trump, when he returned to the White House for a second term, the war was already in full swing.
“When I left, this wasn't even a thought for four years there. Nobody talked about I spoke to President Putin about Ukraine. And this all went because of some really bad decisions that were made,” he said.
The US president noted that over 7,000 people were killed in the Russia-Ukraine war just last week.
“And you know it doesn't affect our country. We're not losing Americans, but they're losing Russians, Ukrainians, mostly soldiers for the most part. Soldiers. And we think we're going to get it. We hope we're gonna get it stopped. I thought this would be because of my relationship with President Putin.I thought this would be very quick,” Trump stated.

At the same press conference, Trump said that his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding Ukraine is expected to take place within two weeks.
