President Trump admitted that Vladimir Putin could be trying to delay a full truce with Ukraine. 

Ukraine and its allies have accused the Kremlin of delaying negotiations to end its three-year full-scale invasion by presenting a list of delaying conditions and demands.

Asked if he believed that the Kremlin was stalling, Trump said on Tuesday he thought “Russia wants to see an end” to its full-scale invasion.

“But it could be that they’re dragging their feet,” he admitted, adding that he had used the same tactic in his past business negotiations.

“I’ve done it over the years,” Trump said. “You know, I don’t want to sign a contract, I want to sort of stay in the game but maybe I don’t want to do it quite, I’m not sure.”
