"I think we're on the way to peace with Russia and Ukraine," United States President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday in the Oval Office, adding, however, that it is unlikely that Ukraine will get all its land back.
He further detailed that he will likely meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia for the first time, with the involvement of the Saudi Crown Prince. He shared that Putin told him he wanted to see the war end and not go back to it "six months later."
On the question of Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the US head of state commented that he doesn't think "it's practical" for Kiev to have a NATO membership. When asked whether he sees Ukraine as an equal member in the peace process, Trump didn't give a straight answer and only stated that "they have to make peace."
