Russia seeks to establish control over the entire territory of Ukraine, and the assignment of Moscow in negotiations on the world is a rejection of this. This was stated by US President Donald Trump in an interview with NBC News.
“Russia wants the whole of Ukraine. And if I had not intervened, they would have fought throughout Ukraine now. Russia does not need the part that it has now. Russia wants all of Ukraine. And if not for me, they would continue,” said, in particular, the American leader.

The head of the White House also spoke about the prospects of resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. “I really think that we are close to this [to an agreement] with one side and, possibly, not so close to the other. I would not want to say who we are closer to,” the US president said.
