Trump says ‘more difficult’ to deal with Ukraine than Russia

The US president has renewed his criticism of Kyiv’s approach to his diplomatic push to end the war, saying that it has been “easier” to deal with Moscow. “I’m finding it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine, and they don’t have the cards,” he said in the Oval Office. Trump has been stressing for weeks that Ukraine’s position in the conflict is weak and dependent on US support. The US president underscored his earlier statement threatening Russia with sanctions and tariffs for bombing Ukraine, saying that he is “trying to help” Kyiv. “Ukraine has to get on the ball and get a job done,” he told reporters.
