US President Donald Trump has said that the only real concession from the Russian Federation in a potential peace agreement with Ukraine could be a complete cessation of hostilities.

He told reporters about this during a conversation on board Air Force One, Ukrainka Pravda reports.

According to Trump, Moscow’s main position in a possible peace process should be to stop the war:

“Their key concession is to stop fighting and not seize new territories,” he stressed.

The US President also commented on the question of whether Ukraine could make any territorial compromises:

“If you look at the current situation, everything is moving in one direction. In a few months, this territory could be under Russian control anyway. So why continue the fight and lose another 50,000-60,000 people? Or maybe it’s worth making a decision now? However, it also happens that territories are returned. They are negotiating and want to finish it,” Trump said.

As a reminder, US President Donald Trump accused the Ukrainian authorities of a lack of gratitude for his efforts to end the war. The politician also criticized his predecessor Joe Biden for what he believes was the one who allowed Russia to launch a full-scale attack.

By the way, US President Donald Trump said that the plan proposed by the United States regarding Ukraine and Russia is not final. He emphasized that the document is aimed at achieving peace and can be further developed.
