Washington, March 15 -- US President Donald Trump said that it was easier to negotiate a Ukrainian settlement with Russian President Vladimir Putin than with Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Far more difficult to make a deal with [Zelensky than with Putin]," Trump said in a phone interview with NBC News.
He also promised to reinstate oil-related sanctions against Russia after energy prices, which had risen due to the US attack on Iran, stabilise.
"(The sanctions will) go back as soon as the crisis is over," Trump said, regarding the sanctions imposed in connection with the Ukrainian conflict.
