Trump names condition for quick end of Russia's war against Ukraine Margarita Voloshina

US President Donald Trump said that it is possible to quickly end Russia's war against Ukraine. This is possible if the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries reduces oil prices.

He made the corresponding statement on Friday, January 24, during a conversation with journalists, reports 24 Channel. According to him, this option is one of the ways to end the war.

What idea does Trump propose

Donald Trump, landing in North Carolina to inspect the damage caused by the storm, made a statement regarding oil prices for OPEC, which, according to him, affect the duration of the war in Ukraine. He has already said that he will negotiate with Saudi Arabia to reduce oil prices.

One way to quickly end the war is for OPEC to stop making so much money and reduce oil prices… and this war will stop immediately, he said.

In his opinion, the war is a tragedy for both Ukraine and Russia. Note that data from the US Energy Information Administration indicate that US oil reserves last week reached their lowest level since March 2022.

Shortly before this, Russia rejected the assumption that its aggression in Ukraine depends on world oil prices. Dmitry Peskov commented on the statement by US President Donald Trump that a drop in oil prices could stop the war.
