US President Donald Trump has expressed understanding for Russian President Vladimir Putin's current approach in the Ukraine war.
"I actually think he's doing what anybody else would do," Trump said on Friday when asked whether Putin was taking advantage of the current suspension of US military aid to Kyiv.
"Probably anybody in that position would be doing that right now," the US president added. Mr Trump again emphasized his "good relationship" with Putin and claimed that the Russian president wants "to end the war," adding: "I think he's going to be more generous than he has to be." Michael Waltz, White House national security adviser, also speaks.
