Trump: Russia brakes in the Ukraine peace process, according to Newsmax

The US President Donald Trump expressed his conviction in an interview with Newsmax that Russia has the desire to end the war with Ukraine, but possibly "hesitated".

Russia's desire for peace

"I think Russia is striving for a degree, but possibly hesitated. I have seen that over the years," said Trump in an interview that was broadcast on Tuesday evening. "I think Russia would welcome the end of the conflict, and I think that Selenskyj is also interested in the fact that it comes to an end at this point," added the president.

Trump's comments followed just a few hours after Russia had announced that a deal conveyed by the USA to end the violence in the Black Sea, only to implement the sanctions imposed against its banks and exports as a result of the invasion in Ukraine.
