Kremlin denies Donald Trump's claim it agreed to plans for British and international peacekeepers in Ukraine

As for the new territories, we are ready to attract foreign partners . . . these are historical territories which have returned to the Russian Federation.

He said

I think the difficulty is with the Russians, because Russians are the ones who want to weaken U.S. power, and who want to weaken the U.S. in the world overall,

So, when it comes to seeking peace ... Braže said

For any security force, we need military guidance,

Latvia's top diplomat said

We are investing in our own capability,

she said

We strongly believe that a rushed ceasefire will not lead to sustainable peace; instead, it will only embolden Russia, encouraging further expansion and putting global security at grave risk,

she said

I'm not sure what kind of deal he's making, where he's giving everything that his opponent wants, nothing in return,

he added, according to Mediaite

They may or may not have dirt on him, but they don't have to use it,

he said at the time

I’m not privy to the details of the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, what the sensitivities are, what the president’s trying to accomplish — so I’d be afraid to speak out of turn and undermine that,

Feinberg said

We have to follow the laws, and you can’t allow classified data that is not legal to be in other people’s hands,

he said

When you’ve run companies, have you ever walked in and fired thousands of people without any analysis of the cost of benefits?”

Reed asked

We have more than 900,000 civilian employees, so while every person counts and is, of course very important, there’s going to be some change,

he said,

In these kinds of reorganizations, there’s always turnover, and without turnover, you can’t become an efficient organization,

he said

I don’t think the cuts haven’t been determined, so I think there’s a chance to make them correctly,

he said

I wouldn’t put it in terms of sucking up to Putin,

Hagerty answered

President Trump is trying to make something happen here, not just go back to talking points that haven’t worked in the past,

the senator continued

It looks as if the US has simply changed sides and wants to give Putin a victory that the Russians couldn't have dreamt of six months ago.

Professor Michael Clarke, a former director-general of the widely respected Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), warned

Justin Trudeaucanadian Prime Minister

This is not a conflict Ukraine wanted, provoked or asked for in any way

Trudeau added

History will be incredibly damning towards Mr Trump in everything that he seems to do, in aligning himself with some of the world's worst dictators,

added Maj Fox, who is a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst where the UK's future Army officers are trained

Frankly, we have little choice but to continue on that path - what we share both in values & secrets can’t be undone in a single presidential term,

he wrote

Gabrielius Landsbergisformer lithuanian Foreign Minister

The biggest problem with Trump is that Putin has already caught him and trapped him. Trump was trapped because of his desire to reach a quick peace deal. To which Putin replied: ‘I can make sure you get a quick deal if nothing else matters’,

Landsbergis said
