Trump acknowledged that ending the conflict in Ukraine was not the easiest task.

Contrary to the expectations of US President Donald Trump, the task of resolving the conflict in Ukraine has not become the easiest for him. He stated this on January 3 during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

"I thought that the simplest or one of the simplest would be the issue of Russia and Ukraine. But this is not the case," the American leader said.

In addition, Trump stressed that the conflict in Ukraine would not have happened if he had been president at the time of its outbreak. The American leader also noted that he did not share Russian President Vladimir Putin's approach to the settlement.
