Washington: United States President Donald Trump on Friday warned the world saying that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict could end up in World War 3, therefore, it has to be settled. Speaking to the press at the White House, Trump said if Russia and Ukraine don't want to settle it then the United States will be out but he wants them to end the war and stop all the killings. Trump though in an unusual praise said Putin was easy to deal even when he was having the cards but he wasn't sure about Zelenskyy.
“...If they (Russia and Ukraine) don't want to settle. We are out of there. We want them to settle and I am doing it to stop death... I watched over the last week or so what's going on in Europe. This thing could end up in World War 3 if we don't get it settled. We gotta get it settled,” President Donald Trump said.
Trump says it may be easier to deal with Russia
Stressing upon the urgent need to end the war, President Trump said that he believes he's doing very well with Russia but right now they are bombing the hell out of Ukraine.
With respect to Ukraine, Trump said they don’t have the cards. “We’re meeting in Saudi Arabia sometime next week early and we’re going to talk to get a final settlement. It may be easier to deal with Russia which is surprising because they have all the cards and they’re bombing the hell out of them right now, so I put a statement (Trump threatening sanctions to Moscow) saying they can’t do that.”

If I was not the President, this war had no chance of settlement, says Trump
Mentioning that both the parties want to settle it up, Trump said if he wasn't the President of the United States then this war had zero chance of settlement. But he believes they are going to settle it to stop 2,000 soldiers being killed on an average.
Trump says he believes Putin wants to settle the war
Trump said he thinks his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, who has been hitting the Ukrainians badly, wants to settle the war. “He wants to get it ended and I think Ukraine wants to end it too, but I don’t see. It’s crazy that they’re taking about tremendous punishment to Moscow. I don’t quite get it.”

Trump in fact said that Putin has to be a more generous person than he actually is.
Trump warns Russia of large scale sanctions
Earlier today, Donald Trump came hard on Russia saying he's strongly considering large scale banking sanctions and tariffs on Moscow as it continues to attack Ukraine and pressed that both the fighting countries need to settle it and agree on the ceasefire before it's too late.
“Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely “pounding” Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale banking sanctions, sanctions, and tariffs on Russia until a cease fire and final settlement agreement on peace is reached. To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late," the President said.
