Trump announced that he had received good news on the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine

The White House's discussions with the Russian side on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict are going well, but negotiations are still far from being completed. This was announced on March 14 by US President Donald Trump during a speech at the country's Ministry of Justice.

"We want to achieve a ceasefire. Now we are waiting for a response from Russia. We had very good discussions about this today. We have received some very good responses," he said.

Answering a question about the truce in Ukraine, the American leader noted that the White House had received a good reaction from Russia, but it was not easy to resolve this issue. Trump recalled that during his first term as president, the United States had good relations with Russia, which were spoiled by former head of state Joe Biden. He also demanded that a number of former U.S. government employees be held accountable.
