President Trump has spoken to Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the phone to try to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war, he told The Post in an exclusive interview aboard Air Force One Friday.
“I’d better not say,” said Trump when asked how many times the two leaders have spoken.
But he believes Putin “does care” about the killing on the battlefield.“He wants to see people stop dying,” said Trump.
“All those dead people. Young, young, beautiful people. They’re like your kids, two million of them – and for no reason.”
The three-year-old war “never would have happened” if he had been president in 2022, Trump asserted.
“I always had a good relationship with Putin,” he said, unlike his predecessor.
