But President Trump was more positive in it, and he showed that he wants to support Ukraine to the very end. So we understand now that we are ready to finish this war as quickly as possible. He wants it, I want it, our people want it, but he [Trump – ed.] understands that Putin does not want it, and he [Trump – ed.] understands that he [Putin – ed.] is not winning, but he says to everybody that he will win."
