Trump steps up rhetoric on Russia-Ukraine conflict during peace talks
President Donald Trump indicated Thursday that he believes Ukraine needs to take offensive action against Russia. This remark is particularly notable as peace talks have stalled.
Trump about war in Ukraine
"It is very difficult, if not impossible to win a war without attacking the land of the attacker. It is like a great sports team with a fantastic defense, which is not allowed to play aggressively. There is no chance to win! So it is also between Ukraine and Russia," said Trump in one Post on Truth Social.
A different perspective on the conflict
He added: "The corrupt and roughly incompetent Joe Biden would not allow Ukraine to defend themselves, but only to defend themselves. How did it work? Regardless of this, this was a war that would never have happened if I had been president - zero chance. Interesting times are coming !!!"
Changes in US policy
For a long time, it was a common policy under the bid administration that Ukraine was not allowed to fire American long-range missiles to Russia. This regulation was amended in November 2024 after pressure was exerted by US allies.
Russian air strikes on Ukraine
Trump's comments come at a time when the Kremlin openly questions the plans of the White House for a bilateral meeting between the Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj. This indicates that talks at the management level will not take place in the near future and that Putin has so far not agreed to such a meeting.
In addition, Russia started a comprehensive series of air strikes on Ukraine, including an attack on an American production company in which at least 15 people were injured.
