New Delhi:
Donald Trump has become the President of America. Since then, the world is waiting for when he will end the Russia-Ukraine war. After taking the oath of office, Trump has given many statements regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin. After taking oath, Trump had said that he is ready to meet Putin at any time. He said on Tuesday that if Russia does not come to the negotiating table, he will impose sanctions on it.
Donald Trump’s stance on Russia-Ukraine war
In a press conference, when Trump was asked about imposing sanctions on Russia, he said, “It seems that it can happen.” He said that if he had been the President, the war would not have started because of his Putin. There is good understanding together. He said that if we had a capable President, the war would not have started.
Donald Trump had said in his election campaign that he could end the Russia-Ukraine war.
Trump said, “Russia would never have entered Ukraine. I have a very good understanding with Putin. This would never have happened. He did not respect Biden. I will meet Putin soon.” People have been killed. Cities have been destroyed. He said that he is also talking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. After this we will see how this can happen. Jinping was pressed to intervene to stop the Ukraine war. Trump said that he has not done much on this. He has a lot of power, just like we have a lot of power.
What does Putin say?
Russian President Putin had congratulated Trump even before he was sworn in as President. Putin accepted Trump’s stance and said that he welcomes the President’s determination to stop this war. He has also expressed hope for improvement in US-Russia relations under the Trump administration. “We are hearing statements from Trump and members of his team that they want to restore direct contacts with Russia, which were destroyed through no fault of ours in the past,” the Russian President said during a video call with Security Council members. The government had stopped. We are hearing such statements from him that they should do everything to prevent the third world war, we certainly welcome such an approach. Putin has also said that Russia will cooperate with Ukraine. Ready to discuss a possible peace agreement. But this should not be just a temporary ceasefire, but a permanent peace and Russia’s interests should be taken into account. Putin had said that he will definitely fight for the interests of Russia, the interests of the Russian people.

It is not that Trump is only praising Putin, he is also not lagging behind in criticizing him. “I think Zelensky wants a peace deal,” he said in the Oval Office. But I don’t know whether Putin wants this or not. “I think Russia is going to be in trouble…I think Putin is going to destroy Russia.”
Is Russia trapped in Ukraine war?
Trump is right to some extent. Russia is faltering on the battlefield. Seven lakh people have been killed so far in this war. Russia is now relying on North Korean troops and Iranian drones. In this sequence, Russia is also becoming economically weak. Its economy has collapsed. What’s more, Russia’s economy may collapse further due to Trump’s return to the White House.
Shortly after Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony, Russian President Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping talked. Relations between these two leaders have deepened after Russia’s attack on Ukraine. To reduce the impact of sanctions imposed by Western countries, China is purchasing oil and gas from Russia. In his conversation with Xi, Putin’s emphasis was on the fact that relations between the two countries are for common interest, mutual benefit and respect. He said that both the countries are not affected by internal political factors and the latest international environment.
