Trump admits his statement of "ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 24 hours" was a joke

according to Global Times, US President Trump admitted in an interview with Time magazine that his statement during the election campaign that he would "end the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the first day in office" was just an "exaggerated expression" made in jest. Trump called the conflict, which has been going on for more than three years, "Biden's war," and stated that Ukraine provoked the conflict with Russia by seeking to join NATO, and Crimea should continue to be controlled by Russia. He also stated on social media that negotiations with Russia and Ukraine are progressing smoothly, and the two sides are "very close" to reaching an agreement.
