Many of our European friends will publicly say: "We did not necessarily agree with the President (Trump - ed.) in what he said or in what he did. Or in all parts of his policy." They will at the same time say that "he is the only person who could actually get each side to accept a peace offer, because these guys weren't even talking — neither to each other nor to anyone. They were just fighting." That's it. So, we have this first step. We have put forward and published a peace proposal, and we will work very hard over the next 100 days to try to bring these guys together

He also said that Trump wants to bring the "Russian-Ukrainian conflict" to a long-term resolution in which "5,000 people do not die every week on both sides."
