The US president says hes unhappy with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, and may consider imposing more sanctions on Moscow
US President Donald Trump has acknowledged that resolving the Ukraine conflict has proven to be more difficult than he expected. He also said he didn't think his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, is serious about ending the hostilities.
Since taking office in January, the Republican has repeatedly vowed to put an end to the conflict between Moscow and Kiev in short order. However, Trump has gradually conceded that the endeavor could take longer than his originally touted "24 hours."
Speaking to the press on Tuesday, the US president said he was "not happy with Putin," while claiming, "he's killing a lot of people," both Russian and Ukrainian troops. Trump asserted that up to 7,000 people are being killed in the conflict every week at this point.
When asked by a reporter whether he planned to "act on that feeling," Trump replied, "I wouldn't be telling you," adding that he wanted his next move to remain "a little surprise" for the time being.
The US president cited America's recent attack on Iran's nuclear facility as an example of his strategy based on unpredictability.
"It's turned out to be tougher," Trump acknowledged, referring to his attempts to settle the Ukraine conflict, adding that Washington has given Kiev the "best [military] equipment ever made."
