Russia praises Trump amid attacks in Ukraine
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has praised President Donald Trump for America's stance on the Ukraine war. He said that Trump has a better understanding of this matter than any other Western leader. Lavrov said this in a program of Turkiye.
Trump has a different opinion about Ukraine
Lavrov said that the best solution to end any war and establish long-term peace is to eliminate the problem from its roots. This is what should happen in this case as well. US President Trump's thinking is also close to this. That is why he is different from other Western leaders. Trump is different from those leaders who are in favour of including Ukraine in the military organization NATO.
Ukraine joining NATO is dangerous
This is the main reason for the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Russia considers Ukraine's joining NATO as dangerous for itself. Lavrov's statement is also important because on Friday itself, Trump's special envoy Steve Witcalf met Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg and held talks.
