Trump expressed hope for a settlement of the Ukrainian conflict before winter

US President Donald Trump has admitted that the confrontation may end in the not-so-distant future – perhaps even before the arrival of a harsh winter. He told reporters in the White House, reports RIA Novosti.

And someday, hopefully in the not-so-distant future, perhaps before the onset of a harsh winter, they (Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky) will make an agreement.

At the same time, he stressed his desire to see a dialogue between the parties.

But do you know what I want from him? So he could make a deal. I want him to make a deal with Putin and Putin to make a deal with him, he said.

Trump did not specify the winter of which year, and did not name specific prerequisites for such a deal.

Against the background of these statements, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that Moscow was ready to resume negotiations after the elections to the state Duma, but this was prevented by an attempt to massively attack Moscow on the voting days. He added that Russia will make decisions on negotiations solely based on its interests.
