Trump said that Russia could have ended the war against Ukraine on the very first day if not for a Russian general who sent tanks to Kyiv "through the swamp."
🗣"They got stuck in the swamp, almost like in quicksand. It was mud, like quicksand. They could not move. If that general had just gone straight on the concrete highway, that speaks volumes. That is why war is always associated with risk. If he had just moved straight on the highway to the city, they would have been in Kyiv in four hours, and Ukraine would have been able to do nothing. This war would have ended in one day. This was four and a half years ago. It was a huge mistake. The general decided to go through the field instead of the road and highway," he said
I know Ukrainian roads are far from perfect but calling E40 highway (Kyiv-Chernihiv) “swamp” is a bit too much…

Regarding Belarus.
When the full-scale war began, we were hit by missiles that killed children and adults. And Alexander Lukashenko knows this. A large number of missiles were launched from Belarus. Back then, he called, apologized, and said it was out of his control. I don’t believe that, but that’s what he’s already said. Now, Russia will keep pushing him further into this war. Now, he understands that Ukraine will respond.
There’s no need for extra words. There are retransmitters on his communication towers. On his territory, along the two regions bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that adjusts fire on our people. He should remove that equipment. I think a week is enough for him to do that. Because right now, every day, our civilians are being killed, and children are being wounded as a result of this. If he doesn’t do it, we will.
The same goes for his oil-refining sector, for example. We are doing everything so that the Russians don’t have the ability to sell oil and supply diesel and fuel to their army. Today, Belarus is one of the key suppliers for the Russian army. Can this be stopped? I’m sure it’s within his power. And he is the one who controls it.
As for the drone strike on a bus with Belarusian children, everyone has already acknowledged it – international experts and, it seems, even the Russians are admitting it wasn’t our strike. The Russians will resort to all sorts of provocations to drag the Belarusian people into this war. This is one of them.

Regarding the results of the G7 Summit.
First, I received a positive signal from the entire G7, including President Trump, on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense. For the first time, the idea of licensing the production of missiles is seen positively by the American side. Now, they will hold all the necessary consultations with Raytheon and other manufacturers. I really hope they come back with a positive answer.
Second, no one sees that Putin is willing to sit down and end this war through dialogue. There’s a sense that even people around him understand that he can’t occupy Ukraine and win this war. We very much want this war to end as soon as possible. For that, we need sanctions. And President Trump said he would return to this policy. That’s also a good signal.
Third, we will be receiving significantly more support. These are President Trump’s words. The goal is for Putin to understand that support will not stop, so it would be better for him to stop the war.
