US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he is going to Russia “Russia” after Kiev agreed to a 30 -day ceasefire so that he could talk with Ukraine about a possible ceasefire. However, Trump did not give much information about the talk team.

Trump told reporters at the Oval Office during a meeting with the Prime Minister of Ireland, “We are talking here and our conversations are still going to Russia and hopefully we will persuade Russia to be a ceasefire.” He said, if we do this, then I think that 80 percent of the terrible bloodshed can be eliminated.

Vice President JD Vance, who was present at the meeting, said that “for a few days, some of our representatives have been talking on the phone and personally.” Trump did not say when he would talk to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin the next time, but he said “I hope he will take a fight” and got “positive messages” from Moscow.

Trump said, “Now it is up to Russia.” Trump remained silent about putting pressure on Moscow for a ceasefire, he said he could implement it with “destructive” sanctions, but he also said that “I hope it will not need it.”

Trump said, “I can do such things financially that will be very bad for Russia. I do not want to do so because I want peace.” His remarks came less than two weeks after the explosive controversy in front of television cameras in the Oval office between Trump, Vance and Ukraine President Volodimir Zelanski.

Trump has stopped military assistance to put pressure on Kyiv.
