U.S. President Donald Trump said on Jan. 20 that he has been unable to end Russia’s war against Ukraine because neither side is consistently willing to agree to a deal at the same time.
Trump claimed he is trying to end what he called the “last conflict,” but has not yet succeeded.
I'm trying to resolve the issue of Russia and Ukraine. And when Russia is ready - Ukraine is not ready. When Ukraine is ready - Russia is not ready,” he said at the White House.
"But on average, they lose 25,000 people a month. And I'm trying to bring this matter to an end," he added.
Trump argued that he has already ended eight wars during his presidency, adding that he did so because “it comes easy” to him and not for a Nobel Peace Prize.
His comments come days after Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado presented Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize medal during a White House meeting on Jan. 16, a largely symbolic gesture as the Nobel committee does not allow the award to be officially transferred or shared.
