Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, in an interview with Russian media, stated that U.S. President Donald Trump has a “much more constructive” approach to the war in Ukraine compared to European leaders.
“Trump is quite cynical, in a positive sense: why fight when you can trade? Guided by U.S. interests, he is trying to do everything possible to end wars,” Peskov said.
He added that this kind of approach also serves Russia’s interests, noting that President Vladimir Putin highly values Trump’s efforts to find a solution.
“From this perspective, his interests align with ours. We also want to achieve our goals, preferably by peaceful means. Putin attaches great importance to Trump’s efforts. He has consistently stated that he values them and is grateful for everything Trump is doing to find a solution,” Peskov emphasized.
