US President Donald Trump stated that in two weeks, he will know whether Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to deceive him about ending the war, he made this statement while speaking with journalists at the White House.
"We’re going to find out whether or not he's tapping us along. And if he is, we’ll respond a little bit differently. But it will take a week and a half, two weeks. Mr. Witkoff is here, he's doing a phenomenal job, and he's dealing with them very strongly right now. They seem to want to do something. But until the document is signed, I can’t tell you," Trump said.
At the same time, he again stated that he is "very disappointed" by the massive attack on Ukraine that took place over the past weekend.
"I can say that I’m very disappointed at what happened a couple of nights now, where people were killed in the middle of what you would call a negotiation. I’m very disappointed by that. Very, very disappointed,” said the US president
