«Listen, I... we will do this. The situation with Russia and Ukraine... we will change this. I am confident that we will do this. I believe we will handle it, but I am disappointed in this war», - Trump said.
Protests in Istanbul
Mass protests against President Erdogan began in Turkey due to a police siege of the opposition party CHP's office in Istanbul. Following a court ruling about changing the party leadership, the police blocked access to its main office, causing outrage from the party leader and calls for mass protests.
In response, the authorities in Istanbul banned demonstrations in several areas and increased the number of police on the streets. Local media report clashes between protesters and police special forces during the protests.
The Ukrainian Kyiv region was again attacked by kamikaze drones, causing explosions in the Obukhiv region and disrupting power supply in some areas. During this time, the US president expressed confidence in resolving the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and plans to begin negotiations with Putin.
