WASHINGTON, April 18. U.S. President Donald Trump believes a solution is near in the process of reaching agreements on a ceasefire in Ukraine and a settlement of the conflict.
"We'll see if we can get that done," he told reporters at the White House, referring to the ceasefire and settlement. "I think there's a really good chance we'll be able to do that. And right now it's coming down to the wire," Trump added. Asked if Russia was trying to lure the US out of the settlement, the US president replied, "Nobody's playing anybody." "No, nobody's playing me. I'm trying to help," he added.
Trump stressed that he has a lot of experience in negotiations. "I know when people are playing us and I know when they're not, and I have to see the enthusiasm to want to end it. And I think I see that enthusiasm. I think I see it from both sides, but you'll find out soon enough," he stressed.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier that the Russian side was seeking to settle the Ukrainian conflict and secure its own interests.
