&imwidth=800&imheight=600&format=webp&quality=medium "'Putin let me down': Trump in UK, admits Russia-Ukraine war is not easy to solve; UK PM demands 'more pressure' on Moscow")
US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer addressed a press conference on Thursday (Sep 18). While Starmer criticised Russian President Vladimir Putin saying that his real face is out with his renewed offensive against Ukraine, Trump confessed that he thought solving Russia-Ukraine war would be “easiest” for him, but that is not the case and the Russian president has “let him down.” However, he expressed confidence that he will get this done. Before coming to power in his second term, Trump had said that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war in a day. His latest remark comes almost a month after Trump hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks in Alaska stating that this would lead to peace deal - but nothing has transpired so far.
"I thought Russia-Ukraine war was the easiest to stop but Putin has let me down...I thought it may be easiest....As you know, we are working for solution of Israel and Gaza..we are working to solve so many conflicts...we will get Israel-Gaza done...likewise, Russia and Ukraine will also be done, but you never know in war," Trump said.

"In recent days, Putin has shown his true face mounting the biggest attack since the invasion began, with yet more bloodshed, yet more innocents killed, and unprecedented violations of NATO airspace," Starmer said during his opening remarks to a press conference. "These are not the actions of someone who wants peace. So we've discussed today how we can build our defenses to further support Ukraine, and decisively increase the pressure on Putin to get him to agree a peace deal that will last," Starmer added. Trump also added that Russian soldiers are being killed more than Ukrainian soldiers. He also declared that the war wouldn't have happened if he was the President.
