US President Donald Trump has said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin may be dragging their feet on a peace deal with Ukraine.
Source Trump in an interview with Newsmax on Tuesday 25 March Quote from Trump I dont know.
I mean, Ill let you know at a certain point.
But I think that Russia wants to see an end to it, but it could be theyre dragging their feet.
Details Trump added that he himself had done the same for many years in business.
Ive done it over the years, you know I dont want to sign a contract, I want to sort of stay in the game, but maybe I dont want to do it, quite Im not sure.
But no, I think Russia would like to see it end, and I think Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would like to see it end at this point, he said.
Trump noted that both sides are losing an average of 2,500 soldiers killed and wounded per week.
Theyre not Americans but it doesnt matter to me, from that standpoint.
I see the pictures of the battlefields Id rather not even see them.
We have arms and legs and heads all over the field.
The weaponry is ridiculous.
Its a big drone deal now...
And I just want to see it stop, he reiterated.

Nevertheless, after this, Russia put forward a list of demands, including the easing of certain sanctions against the agricultural sector.
US President Donald Trump stated that the American side would consider Russias demands for agreeing to a ceasefire in the Black Sea.
