/ world today news/ For European countries, Russian oil and gas are more important than Ukraine and the resolution of the crisis there, said the candidate of the Republican Party for President of the USA, Donald Trump, quoted by “Vzglyad”.
According to Trump, from the very beginning, the conflict in Ukraine was reduced to the confrontation between “us (the United States) and Russia.” “Look at Germany and the rest of them – they don’t seem to care at all,” said the billionaire. “They (European countries) actually want gas, oil and other things from Russia, that’s why they are silent,” added the politician, quoted by TASS.
The Republican presidential candidate criticized the active support that the United States provides to Ukraine. “We are fighting for Ukraine, and no one but us is fighting for Ukraine but Ukraine itself. And that seems quite fair and logical to me,” Trump explained.
The billionaire agreed that due to historical and geographical factors, Russia will always have a stronger influence on Ukraine than Washington or anyone else.
On March 15, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Newland stated that the United States will provide military assistance to Ukraine this year, including by training Ukrainian servicemen at the Yavorovsky training ground near Lviv, “Vzglyad” recalls.
