Source: Putin expresses readiness to meet with Trump following ‘sanction threats’
乌克兰新闻报报道，克里姆林宫领导人弗拉基米尔·普京对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普提出的启动谈判以结束乌克兰战争的提议发表了评论。普京说，“美国总统就会晤发表了许多声明。首先，我想说，俄罗斯从未拒绝与美国政府接触。上一届政府放弃这种接触不是我们的错。我与现任总统一直保持着完全务实和信任的关系。”他补充说，“最有可能的是，与特朗普会面确实会更好”并“冷静地讨论美国和俄罗斯都感兴趣的所有领域。” 据乌克兰新闻报报道，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布他打算与沙特阿拉伯和欧佩克接洽，共同降低全球油价，据他所说，这可以“立即”停止俄乌战争。 特朗普还表示，他不想伤害俄罗斯，但如果莫斯科拒绝就乌克兰问题达成和平协议，他将不得不对俄罗斯商品征收“高额关税和制裁”。 随后，特朗普表示希望尽快与普京会面，共同努力结束俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争。
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by Mediazona.
“The U.S. President has made many statements on this matter (a meeting – ed.). First of all, I want to say that Russia has never refused contacts with the U.S. administration. It is not our fault that the previous administration abandoned such contacts. With the current President, I have always maintained exclusively businesslike, pragmatic, and trusting relations,” said Putin.
He added that “most likely, it would indeed be better to meet with Trump” and “calmly discuss all the areas of interest to both the U.S. and Russia.”
As reported by Ukrinform, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to approach Saudi Arabia and OPEC to jointly lower global oil prices, which, according to him, could “immediately” stop the Russia-Ukraine war.
Trump also stated that he does not want to harm Russia but would have no choice but to impose “high taxes, tariffs, and sanctions” on Russian goods if Moscow refuses to agree to a peace deal on Ukraine.
Later, Trump expressed his desire to meet with Vladimir Putin as soon as possible to work toward ending Russia’s war against Ukraine.
