Trump 'Only Leader on Earth' Who Understands Root Causes of Ukraine Crisis, Russian FM Says
The only solution to the Ukrainian settlement is to eliminate the root causes of the conflict, and President Donald Trump understands this, the Russian foreign minister said earlier in April.
US President Donald Trump is probably the only leader in the world who recognizes the root causes of the Ukraine conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
"President Trump is probably the only leader on Earth who recognizes the need to address the root causes of this situation," the Russian top diplomat told CBS News.
Contacts with the US side on Ukraine are continuing, the minister noted when asked whether the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff will take place on Friday, and whether a deal on Ukraine can be expected this week.
Other key statements by Lavrov on the situation with the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict:
Russia is ready to reach a deal on Ukraine, but some of its elements need to be "fine-tuned;"
Trump understands the error of trying to make Ukraine a member of NATO;
Trump rightly believes that the peace process is moving in the right direction.
