Quote: "I shared it with President [Trump]: we don't feel their influence because we don't see the wishes from China to finish this war, I don't feel it totally. They are not interested. Really, I don't know why. All of us, we can be experts, experts and me also, to say that look, it's because of [the] economy, because of history, etc.

But we see and feel that they are not interested in [helping to end the war]. And that's why I said that for today, I see that Trump is [a] game changer."

Background: In his address to the UN General Assembly on 23 September, Trump emphasised that "China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing war by continuing to purchase Russian oil".
