«You know, I said that they (Ukraine, — note) have no cards. In fact, no one has any maps. Russia has no cards... What you have to do is make a deal. You have to stop the killing. This is a senseless war, and we are going to stop it»,  said Donald Trump.

He also expressed hope for a «good result» from the talks between the American and Ukrainian delegations in Saudi Arabia.
