Kiev is more difficult to deal with than Moscow, the US president has said
Washington will cease all assistance to Kiev if it fails to demonstrate its commitment to reaching peace with Moscow, US President Donald Trump has said. Trump also stated that Russia has been more cooperative than Ukraine when it comes to a potential settlement of the conflict.
"I have to know that they want to settle [the conflict]," Trump told journalists on Friday in response to a question about US military aid to Kiev. The president said that he did not currently know if Kiev was truly committed to peace.
"If they don't want to settle, we're out of there, because we want them to settle."
Washington has so far had more productive communication with Moscow on a potential resolution of the conflict, even though Russia "has all the cards" and Ukraine has none, the president said. Trump added that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin does want peace.
"I think we're doing very well with Russia," the US president said, adding that he was "finding it more difficult ... to deal with Ukraine."
