US President-elect Donald Trump has criticised Ukraine for using US missiles to strike Russian territory last month. He said this in an interview with Time magazine.

Answering a question about the Russian-Ukrainian war, Trump expressed his strong disagreement with such actions. “I strongly disagree with sending missiles hundreds of miles deep into Russian territory. Why are we doing this? We are only intensifying this war and making it worse,” Trump said.

In addition, when asked about the future of the US in Ukraine, Trump said that he would use US support for Ukraine as leverage in negotiations with Russia to end the war. “I want to reach a deal. The only way to get a deal is not to give up on Ukraine,” he stressed.

Interestingly, during his election campaign, Trump claimed that he could conclude a “peace deal” between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours. However, he now admits that this task has proved to be much more difficult than he had previously imagined.

“The Middle East is an easier problem to solve than what is happening with Russia and Ukraine. The number of dead young soldiers lying in the fields everywhere is staggering. It’s crazy what’s going on,” Trump said.
