Washington, D.C., March 5, 2025 – The Europe Today: Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his commitment to ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, stating that he is working “tirelessly” toward a resolution. Speaking in an address to Congress, Trump highlighted the heavy toll of the war, emphasizing that thousands of Russians and Ukrainians are being killed each week.
“You want it to keep going another five years?” he asked, underscoring the urgency of a diplomatic resolution.
Trump went on to criticize European nations, alleging that they have spent more on purchasing Russian oil than on providing aid to Ukraine. In contrast, he noted, the United States has contributed “hundreds of billions” in assistance to Kyiv.
Additionally, Trump claimed that he had received a letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicating Ukraine’s readiness to sign a mineral deal and bring the war to an end. No official confirmation has been issued by Kyiv regarding such a proposal.
His remarks come amid ongoing debates in Washington over the future of U.S. military and financial support for Ukraine, as well as broader geopolitical concerns surrounding the war’s impact.
