I understand media need to report something but next they will be reporting what Trump ate for breakfast and what he may have told to WH housekeepers.
US President Donald Trump has said he would “very much like” to meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin “soon” in order to end the ongoing Ukraine conflict. It is not just important from the standpoint of the global economy, but also to prevent further human suffering, he told the World Economic Forum in Davos via teleconference on Thursday. “Millions of lives are being wasted,” Trump claimed, referring to the ongoing hostilities and calling the conflict “horrible.” “I am not talking economy, I am not talking economics, I am not talking about natural resources, I’m just talking about so many young people being killed in this war,” he added. The source of the figures used by Trump is unclear. In December, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov said Ukraine had suffered almost 1 million battlefield casualties in total since the start of the conflict in February 2022. Kiev has claimed that Moscow had lost over 800,000 troops as of January 15. Neither side has commented on its own losses for a long time.
Russian response was clear:
The Kremlin responded to the statement by saying that it saw “nothing new” in yet another threat of sanctions made by Washington. During his first presidential term, Trump had often resorted to sanctions, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Thursday, adding that the US president “likes such methods.” Moscow is still ready for an equal and respectful dialogue, Peskov said, adding that Trump had engaged in that kind of exchange with Putin during his first term in office. Now, Russia is waiting for similar signals but has not seen any so far, according to the spokesman.
While Zakharova didn't mince words either.
Москва считает действия администрации Джо Байдена по многим направлениям, включая политику на Украине, преступлениями, а не ошибками, заявила Мария Захарова.
Translation: Moscow considers the actions of the Joe Biden administration in many areas, including policy in Ukraine, to be crimes, not mistakes, said Maria Zakharova.
This is correct definition of what Biden and cabal of his handlers were doing both domestically and internationally can only be qualified as crimes, ranging from war crimes to crimes against humanity. So, the SMO continues.
P.S. Yes, getting basic math of SMO would certainly help Trump when making any decisions.
