Trump said he has a red line regarding US efforts in Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump said that there is a red line in the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, which concerns the efforts of the United States to establish peace. Trump said this in an interview with reporters, which took place on May 19 at the White House.

"I have a certain [red] line, but I don't want to talk about it, because I think it will further complicate the negotiations," Trump said, without giving details.

The head of the White House also said that at the moment there is no question of sending the US military to Ukraine. Trump also announced his readiness to consider Europe as the main mediator in the negotiation process, in case significant progress is not achieved on this issue.

However, he said that in the future he would be able to reconsider the increase in arms supplies to Kiev, at the same time adding that he believes in an early settlement of the conflict.
