Putin says he reached 'understandings' with Trump over end of Ukraine war

In a recent interview, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed to have reached "understandings" with former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the end of the Ukraine war. However, Putin once again defended his decision to invade Ukraine, placing the blame on the West. The article states that Putin provided no further details on the alleged understandings with Trump, nor did he indicate any concrete plans for ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Instead, the Russian leader reiterated his longstanding position that the war was provoked by the West's actions and NATO's expansion. The article notes that Putin's claims about reaching understandings with Trump are unverified and that there has been no confirmation from the former U.S. president or the White House. The article also highlights the continued tensions between Russia and the West over the Ukraine invasion, which has been ongoing since February 2022.
