Putin Says Trump ‘Sincerely’ Wants to End The War in Ukraine

President Vladimir Putin said Russia takes seriously statements by Donald Trump that he has proposals to end the war in Ukraine quickly.

“I’m not familiar with his possible proposals on how he intends to do this, and that is, of course, the key question,” Putin told a news conference Thursday in Astana, Kazakhstan, where he attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. “But I have no doubt that he says this sincerely, and we will support it.”

He spoke a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Bloomberg TV in an interview that Trump “should tell us today” what his plans for ending the war would be if he wins November’s US presidential election. Zelenskiy warned that any proposal must avoid violating Ukraine’s sovereignty.

The fact that he doesn't doubt Trump's sincerity says a lot.

[maracee]

I love that Trump said that he has a good relationship with Zelenski & Putin, and then Zelensky said, " Well, maybe a better one with me." Trump then responded, "It takes two to tangle... Trump is the GOAT/BOSS! A true leader!!!

[dorisludtke]

I believe they have a mutual respect for one another. Not that they agree on every point but they respect each other as leaders and negotiators. Putin has zero respect for Biden or Obama for that matter

[jphaolai]

Putin really respect Trump. I hope they put an end to the war

[thepaulguy]

The fact that they completely ignore the current administration says everything you need to know.

Do we know this to be a true translation?

[hegdescheco]

That speech is politically correct. Hate him or Love him, but his always on top of his. Game.

[grtbglv]

Amazing how they do take Trump seriously.
And basically see Biden/Harris as a joke
Not to be even considered.

When someone on the level of President Putin calls you "Mister", then that's some serious respect.
