He said this in an interview with Time.
Trump has repeatedly promised to conclude an agreement to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. However, in an interview, he noted that the crisis in the Middle East is easier to resolve than a full-scale war in Ukraine.
«The Middle East is a problem that is easier to solve than what is happening with Russia and Ukraine,» he says.
We will remind you that a few days ago, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with the President of France Emmanuel Macron and the newly elected President of the United States Donald Trump in Paris.
After that, Donald Trump said that the situation in the Middle East is «less complicated» compared to the war in Ukraine.

In the evening, the leaders of states and governments of about 40 countries of the world took part in the ceremony of restoration of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, after a five-year break due to a fire.
