US President Donald Trump spoke in the Oval Office about the dispute with Volodymyr Zelensky and noted that it was part of a strategy to put pressure on Ukraine.
"We had to force Ukraine to do the right things. It was not a simple situation. You saw a little scene in the Oval Office, but I think they are doing the right things now, and we are trying to reach a ceasefire and then a peace agreement," Trump said.
In addition, in answering the question about the suspension of the supply of weapons and intelligence to Ukraine, Trump stated that this decision, in his opinion, had no consequences for the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region of Russia.
"In general. Quite the opposite. "You have to understand that if I see someone doing something bad that results in a lot of death, the only reason I intervene is for humanity. I intervene for humanity because there are a lot of people dying there," Trump added.
