“This is a war that should never have happened. This is Biden’s war, not Trump’s war. I’m here to see if I can stop it!” he wrote on his true social network. Trump also claimed that losses on both sides were high.
As Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier, Moscow’s main goal is to eradicate the cause of the Ukraine crisis and ensure Russia’s security. As President Putin stressed, if Ukraine believes that now is not the time to negotiate, Russia is ready to wait.
Trump said on July 14 that if Moscow and Washington do not reach an agreement on a Ukrainian settlement within 50 days, the US will impose approximately 100% import duties on Russia and its trading partners. On July 29, Trump said he had decided to shorten the 50 days to 10 days.
As spokesman for the Russian president Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing on July 30, the Russian economy is working well under Western sanctions.
