During the campaign, Trump has said Russia would never conquer Ukraine if he was president, while he has repeated that claim on January 31st.

Trump is critical of the aid sent to Washington Kiev, and has said Ukraine would have to make concessions before the start of the war almost three years ago.

In a recently conducted interview for a Russian state television, Putin has praised Trump as <x0-source smart and pragmatic”, which is focused on American interests.

“We've always had business-style, pragmatic relations, but even in trust, with the current American president”, Putin said.

The Russian president has dismissed the possibility of direct peace talks with Zelensky. Putin has said he does not consider Zelensky the legitimate leader of Ukraine.

The elections in Ukraine would have to be held on March 31, 2024, but have been postponed because the state is still in a state of war due to conflict. / REL/
