Donald Trump: My patience is running out
"I'm not going to defend anyone, but they (drones - ed.) were shot down and flew into Polish airspace - ed.," Donald Trump said on Fox News."They shouldn't have been near Poland at all," he added. He said his patience with Vladimir Putin was running out."It's running out, and fast," he said, referring to Russia's refusal to end the conflict. He added that talks and an agreement require two sides."It's incredible, when Putin wanted to do it, Zelensky didn't. When Zelensky wanted to, Putin didn't. Now Zelensky wants to, but Putin... there's a question mark there. We'll have to react very, very decisively," he explained. Donald Trump emphasized that the United States is ready to take decisive action against Russia if the Kremlin continues to avoid talks and an agreement with Ukraine.
