US President Donald Trump wants to achieve any form of ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Trump said this in a comment to Fox News.
Trump noted that he has been "doing deals" his entire life. According to him, in this matter, no one ever knows the outcome for sure, and it’s not worth having too many expectations. He also said that there will have to be some maneuvering.
"I'd like to see a ceasefire. I wouldn't be thrilled if I didn't get it. But everyone says you're not going to get the ceasefire. It'll take place at the second meeting. The second meeting is going to be very... But I'm not going to be happy with that. So we'll see what happens. I won't be happy if I walk away without some form of a ceasefire," he added.
According to him, today’s meeting lays the groundwork for a potential second meeting.
"We're going to have another meeting if things work out, which will be very soon. We're going to have another meeting if things work out, which will be very soon. Or we're not going to have any more meetings at all, maybe ever," the president emphasized.
