Trump says Russian economy nearing collapse, but Putin won't stop Ukraine war

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChLtXXpo4Ge1ReTEboVvTDg https://ift.tt/kU2Blzb U.S. President Donald Trump again criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin during comments to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, saying the Russian leader is simply unwilling to end the war in Ukraine. "Look, I'm very disappointed because Vladimir and I had a very good relationship, probably still do," Trump said. "He's got to really settle this war. And you know they have long lines waiting for gasoline in Russia right now... And all of a sudden his economy is going to collapse." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded Wednesday saying that Putin was open to searching for a way to end the war and that Moscow was grateful to Trump for his efforts. "As for the Russian economy, it has a sufficient and considerable margin of safety to allow the country's leadership and all of us to implement the plans that we set for ourselves," Peskov told reporters. Some Russian regions have been suffering gasoline shortages after a series of Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries. Russia-controlled Crimea has frozen fuel prices and imposed gasoline rationing in response to shortages.
