Trump acknowledges "ending Russia-Ukraine conflict in 24 hours" as a joke

According to the Global Times, US President Donald Trump admitted in an exclusive interview with Time magazine that his remarks during the election campaign claiming that "the Russian-Ukrainian conflict ended on the first day of office" were just "joking" exaggerated expressions. Trump called the conflict, which has lasted for more than three years, "Biden's war" and said Ukraine provoked a conflict with Russia to join NATO, and Crimea should continue to be controlled by Russia. He also said on social media that negotiations with Russia and Ukraine are going well and the two sides are "very close" to reaching an agreement.
