Russia claims it welcomes high-level dialogue with America over the Ukraine War, while President Trump warns Vladimir Putin to take a deal as the war isn’t “doing so well” and he’s “destroying Russia by not making a deal”.
That is no small request: the reasons for the war starting in the first place are not a matter of common ground between Russia and the West, with NATO generally taking the view that Russia’s war of aggression was one of choice, and illegal. Speaking in the Oval Office to press as he signed a stack of executive orders on Monday, President Trump was drawn to speak about the Ukraine War — which he has vowed to quickly end and that “it would never have started if I was President” — and Russia several times. Speaking of a possible forthcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin — “Could be very soon”, he said — Trump expressed his view the war is going badly for Russia and that Putin himself ought to be looking for a way out.
Another important remark by President Trump were rare comments on Russian and Ukrainian casualty figures. While Ukraine makes frequent claims of how many Russian men it has killed and maimed —standing at over 818,000 — any discussion at all in the West of Ukrainian casualties is comparatively rare. President Trump asserted Russia had suffered more casualties in the war than Ukraine, but assuming his figures are correct the numbers run astonishingly close.
