Putin praised Trump during a press conference, asserting that if Trump had been president in 2022, there would have been no war in Ukraine. He thanked Trump for their collaborative efforts and acknowledged the value of a trustworthy conversation. Putin emphasized the importance of being result-oriented and underlined that both national interests must be acknowledged. He recalled past attempts to prevent escalating hostilities, stating that it was a significant mistake to let tensions rise.
I would like to thank President Trump for our joint work, for the well-wishing and trustworthy tone of our conversation. It's important that both sides are result-oriented, and we see that the President of the U.S. has a very clear idea of what he would like to achieve.
In the end, I would like to add one more thing. I'd like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that the situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities.
