Details
Caroline Levitt called Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff's trip to St. Petersburg to negotiate with Russian ruler Vladimir Putin an important step in the diplomatic process aimed at ending the war and concluding a final peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
The spokeswoman said that US President Donald Trump constantly expresses frustration with the actions of both sides of the conflict - both Moscow and Kyiv.
I think the President has made it quite clear that he is constantly frustrated with both sides of this conflict, and he wants these hostilities to end. He wants the war to end. We believe that we have leverage in negotiating a peace agreement, and we are going to use that leverage," she said.
Recall
President Donald Trump said he was "very angry" and "furious" when Vladimir Putin criticized confidence in the leadership of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, adding that the comments were "out of place." The head of the White House announced the possibility of introducing additional duties on Russian oil if Russia disrupts the agreement on ending the bloodshed in Ukraine.
