The United States will help ensure peace after the war in Ukraine, says Trump

"After the war ends, we will help ensure peace. And I think that will ultimately happen," US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News.

Trump acknowledged that helping to end the war in Ukraine proved more difficult than he expected and that he is very disappointed in Putin.

"I thought the easiest way to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine would be because of my relationship with President Putin. So I'm disappointed," Trump said.

He said the relationship between Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is terrible: "It turns out that's the most difficult thing. The relationship between President Putin and President Zelenskyy is terrible. I mean, it depends a lot on the relationship. They really don't like each other. They hate each other. We'll see what happens. I think we'll find a solution."

Trump still believes in a solution to the conflict and that one way to achieve this is by stopping Europe from buying Russian oil: "Ultimately, if oil prices fall or if Russia stops selling oil, they will have no choice but to negotiate, and the countries of the European Union or NATO... when they buy oil from Russia, it's not the best thing."
