Trump: The end of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is approaching

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is nearing the end, US President Donald Trump said on May 12 at a press conference before leaving for China.

"The end is coming," Trump said.

In addition, answering a journalist's question about a possible trip to In Russia this year, the American president said that he would do everything possible that would be required of him.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a press conference on May 9 that the Ukrainian conflict was coming to an end.

Press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov on May 12 explained the words of the head of state, saying that the baggage of developments in the framework of the peace process in Ukraine allows us to say that the conflict is nearing completion, but so far there is no need to talk about any specifics.

"The President said that Russia remains open for contacts. He said that some work has been done in a trilateral format. And he said that we would welcome the continuation of mediation efforts by the United States," Peskov said.
