The Kremlin commented on Trump’s words about the possibility of ending the conflict in Ukraine

US President Joe Biden, if desired, could quickly end the conflict in Ukraine by giving instructions to Kyiv, said Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the President of the Russian Federation. According to him, “the key to the Kyiv regime is largely in the hands of Washington.”

Former United States President Donald Trump declaredthat he could agree on the end of hostilities in Ukraine in a day if he were at the head of the country.

“Probably, theoretically, Mr. Trump is not far from the truth. Indeed, if he wants to end this conflict, the US president can do it very quickly, using, let’s say, his ability to actually simply give instructions to the Kyiv regime, ”Peskov said, commenting on Trump’s words.

According to a Kremlin spokesman, to end the conflict, “appropriate instructions” to Kyiv from Washington are enough. “Of course, not in a day, not in two, but the key to the Kyiv regime is largely in the hands of Washington,” Peskov continued. However, as the spokesman noted, Biden is not going to do this. Peskov said that the current American president is choosing to “further pump” Ukraine with weapons.

Previously, Trump has repeatedly criticized the actions of the administration of the current US President Joe Biden. In particular, in October 2022 he declaredthat the rhetoric of the American government “forced” Russian President Vladimir Putin to launch a special operation. Trump noted that the conflict in Ukraine would not have happened if he had been at the head of the United States. At the same time, the politician called for the immediate start of peace negotiations.
