Trump Privately Admits Putin Won’t End War, Believes He’s Winning
Government
US President Donald Trump privately told European leaders during a phone call on 19 May that Vladimir Putin is unwilling to end the war in Ukraine because he believes he’s currently winning. The statement, shared with The Wall Street Journal by three individuals familiar with the exchange, was the first time European officials had heard Trump acknowledge Putin ’s stance in such terms. Although this has long been their assessment, Trump had until now publicly maintained that Putin wanted peace.
