After the end of the war with Iran, the United States focused on achieving peace between Ukraine and Russia, US President Donald Trump said this during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
According to Trump, yesterday, June 14, he held very productive phone conversations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"And I see, maybe we can do something there (achieving peace — ed.). I really do. I think they're both open to it. So now that this is finished (referring to the war with Iran — ed.), we're going to be focusing on that, see if we can get that one done," the president emphasized.
He also said that every month in Russia’s war against Ukraine, "25,000 people are dying," mostly soldiers, and that this "should not be happening."
