US sees trend toward end of Ukraine conflict — Trump
At the same time, Donald Trump rejected a journalist’s assertion that Russia was not seeking a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine
WASHINGTON, November 10. /TASS/. The US administration is seeing a trend toward an end to the conflict in Ukraine, US President Donald Trump said.
"We are also seeing a very strong inclination to end [the conflict between] Russia and Ukraine. We're involved in that because I want to see people stop getting killed," he said.
Trump said he believes that both Russia and Ukraine are tired of the war and want peace. "I just think that Ukraine and Russia are tired of fighting," he said. "You know, it doesn't affect us, but I'm able to get them together, and we're meeting now, right now as we speak, and the meetings are going okay. We are trying to get it settled," Trump added.
At the same time, Trump rejected a journalist’s assertion that Russia was not seeking a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
Talks between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine on resolving the conflict are scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. The Russian delegation will be headed by Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky, while the Ukrainian delegation will be led by Foreign Intelligence Service chief Rustem Umerov. Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the talks would focus on security guarantees. He also noted that European representatives could not participate because a trilateral format had been agreed upon from the outset.
