Amid the ongoing back and forth over the Russia-Ukraine war, United States President Donald Trump Monday reiterated his claim of “settling seven wars”, adding that he believes reaching a resolution over this particular one might be the “easiest of all”.
“I think it’s going to get settled. I have settled seven wars… This would have been maybe the easiest one of all. But with war, you never know what you’re gonna get,” Trump said, speaking to reporters. He also said that he is not happy about the situation (war), calling it a “horrible waste of humanity.”
“I am not happy with anything that having to do with that war… It doesn’t affect us, but they are losing seven thousand soldiers between Ukraine and Russia every single week. It is a horrible waste of humanity,” he added.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump also said he is prepared to move to a second stage of sanctions on Russia over its war in Ukraine. However, he did not give details on what that would involve, Reuters reported.
The US President’s latest statement comes after Russia attacked Ukraine on Sunday with the largest drone assault so far in the war, damaging a key building in the heavily guarded government district of the capital for the first time since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022. The attack killed two people, including an infant.
“For the first time, the government building was damaged by an enemy strike — its roof and upper floors,” Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said on the Telegram messaging app.
“The world must respond to this destruction not only with words, but with actions. There is a need to strengthen sanctions pressure — primarily against Russian oil and gas,” she added.
