MOSCOW: The Kremlin on Wednesday said US President Donald Trump’s latest statements on Ukraine — in which he said Moscow will win the war and that Kyiv will have to cede land — align with Russia’s view. In an interview to Politico, Trump also said European leaders were “weak” and called on Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky to hold elections in statements that spooked Kyiv and Europe.

The US leader stated that Russia is in a more advantageous negotiating position than Ukraine

The US president says European countries have failed to control migration or take decisive action to end Ukraine's war with Russia.
