I\u2019m completely in favor,\u201d Trump said, while also emphasizing that he would not send American troops to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FIND OUT MORE IN ENGLISH:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02D7Wv4PnFd1m6KD7xehq7kbGWdev7aGSMmgiwyZe7a59FeLCYXEJUUacLK743bJ1ul&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"674\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is all the money that was given?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump stated that Zelensky previously mentioned that not all the funds allocated by the United States had reached Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe gave them, I believe, $350 billion,\u201d the White House chief continued. \u201cThat\u2019s a lot, and Europe should match that amount. But they only gave $100 billion. We have an ocean between us, and they (Europe and Ukraine) do not. But where is all the money that was given? Where did it go? No one has ever seen reports on this. We\u2019re giving hundreds of billions of dollars. I don\u2019t see any reports,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also stressed that he wants peace to be established in Ukraine so that no more people die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI see people being killed\u2014these are Russians and Ukrainians, but they are people, no matter where they\u2019re from, all over the planet. And I believe I have the ability to end this war,\u201d the U.S. president stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump reiterated that he could negotiate a deal for Ukraine and added that his predecessor in the White House, Joseph Biden, handled this \u201cbadly, pathetically, and sadly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI could make a deal for Ukraine to get back almost all of its land\u2014almost all of its land\u2014and no one would have died, no city would have been destroyed, not a single tower would have been toppled. But they decided not to do it that way,\u201d Trump concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump Reveals Why Ukraine Was Not Invited to Negotiations in Riyadh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The President of the United States dismissed Ukraine\u2019s complaints about not being present at the meeting in Saudi Arabia and stated that they had plenty of time to negotiate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very disappointed. I hear they are upset about not having a seat at the negotiating table. Well, they had a seat for the past three years and long before that,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis could have been resolved many years ago without losing much land\u2014very little land. Without losing lives and without losing cities,\u201d Trump emphasized, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that under his leadership, America is now \u201cputting out fires around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked how today\u2019s talks with Russia went, Trump said they were \u201cvery good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRussia wants to do something; they want to stop the wild barbarism. Thousands of soldiers are being killed on a weekly basis\u2014it\u2019s ridiculous. We want to end this; it\u2019s a senseless war,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the possibility of European troops being stationed in Ukraine after a peace agreement, Trump said it would be great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf they want that, that\u2019s great, but we won\u2019t have to send them there because we are very far away,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that he wants to end the war in Ukraine to save millions of lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat is my wish, even though this topic may be more important for Europeans than for us. We have an ocean in between, and they don\u2019t,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/chicago-serbs-show-big-hearts-fundraiser-for-the-first-serbian-orthodox-church-in-the-caribbean-a-big-success-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">CHICAGO SERBS SHOW BIG HEARTS: Fundraiser for the first Serbian Orthodox church in the Caribbean a big success!
