Trump doesn’t think Ukraine will ‘ever be able to join NATO’
US President Donald Trump said he did not plan to join NATO in the future, reaffirming the position of his administration that Kiev refuses to join the military bloc.
“I do not think that they will ever be able to join NATO,” Trump said in an interview with the time magazine published on Friday, accusing Ki’s aspirations for Russia’s invasion.
“I think that since that day, I think that’s what I think the war has begun. If it is not, it would be a much better chance that it would not start, “said it didn’t start.
Trump’s comments come because he puts pressure on Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelopinsky to accept a peaceful deal that the critics say that Russia will end to the war.
Russia’s claims Russia began the war to join NATO due to the Ukrainian program for its invasion of the Kremlin. But Ukraine’s aspiration to join NATO was rejected in 2008, when the Alliance summit in Bucharest in Romania refused to provide the country with a membership plan.
During the campaign, Trump repeatedly said that at the beginning of his term, he would be able to develop a transaction, citing his relations with Putin.
“I said that way, and I said that as an exaggeration, because he said a point,” Trump said, when he could end his demands. “It is obvious that people know that when I said it was said in the Jew, but it also said that it will be completed.”
Trump said that he was ready to refuse peaceful negotiations, if there is no sign of progress. Last week during a meeting in Paris, the United States presented to Ukraine and European officials the proposal to end the war, which would effectively confuse the conflict along the existing combat lines.
The United States is also ready to recognize Russia’s control over Crimea as part of the deal, Bloomberg has previously announced.
The conflict would be a sacrifice for Ukraine, which has tried to restore the entire territory in the south of the country and since 2014, including Crimea’s 2022.
“Well, Crimea went to Russians. They were handed over to Barack Hussein Obama, not by me, “Trump said, when he asked that Russia should behave that area.
“By saying, Will they be able to bring it back? They had their own Russians. They talk about for many years.
To the question whether he will accept a transaction by which Crimea and other regions of Putin have taken from Ukraine to Russia, Trump said. “Crimea will remain with Russia.” Adding Zelenskiy, “understands that.”
Russia has illegally occupied Crimea in 2014 violating international law.
Trump expressed disappointment at an end to the end of the war, particularly Zelenky, handed over to the Ukrainian leader on Wednesday to say that his country would not recognize the Crimean Constitution.
These comments are strongly worried in Kiev and its allies that the US President’s emergency will sacrifice European collective security to make a deal.
The US President also criticized Putin after Russia began a mass missile and unmanned strike, calling it on Kiev “It is not necessary and a very bad schedule.” He urged Putin to “stop”.
