I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.
Trump Claims Russia is Way Easier to Tackle Than Ukraine
Quick Take from the Oval Office
During a relaxed Friday evening chat in his office, former President Donald Trump casually dropped these spicy remarks: “I think we’re doing very well with Russia, and right now they’re bombing the hell out of Ukraine.”
Putin’s “Generous” Plan?
Trump believes Russian leader Vladimir Putin wants the war to be over. And he thinks the Kremlin might be a bit more generous than necessary in how it appears to end things.
- Trump says Putin “wants to end the war.”
- He thinks Russia might be “more generous than he has to be.”
- He refers to Russia’s current bombing campaign as a sign of their urgent push to change the situation.
What It Means for U.S. Policy
These comments suggest that America might look to smooth the path to peace—or at least give the war a fresh, unexpected angle. Trump’s spin brings a little more drama (and some humor) back into the international conversation.

Trump’s Take on Ukraine and Russia
In a recent speech, former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on the ongoing conflict, saying that dealing with Ukraine feels “more difficult” because they apparently lack the cards he’d like. He added that settling things with Russia might actually be easier, which surprised many.
“Bombing the Hell Out of Them”
Trump described the current air‑strike situation as “bombing the hell out of them.” He voiced strong support for Ukraine but urged the country to “get on the ball and get a job done” if it wants a resolution.
Putin: The “Doing What Anyone Else Would”
- Trump called Putin “doing what anybody else would do” now that the U.S. has stopped sharing intelligence and cut military aid.
- He said he trusts Putin and believes the Russian leader “wants to end the war.” The claim, however, faces no solid evidence as missiles continue to rain on Ukraine.
- “I think I do know how to end the war … I’ve always had a good relationship with Putin. He wants to end the war. He wants to end it.”
The “Generous” Russian President
Trump forecasted that Putin will likely be “more generous than he has to be,” which he said could bring “good things.”
A Warning to Ukraine’s President
Trump emailed President Volodymyr Zelensky, cautioning, “I don’t know that they want to settle. If they don’t want to settle, we’re out of there.”
Take the Cue
While Trump’s remarks captured a spotlight in the press, no real clock‑tower was sounded beyond the words. Policymakers and observers continue to track how the situation unfolds, hoping for a quieter future.
