Too many people are dying in this war: Trump says Russia has to move

He made the comment on the social media platform TruthSocial.

“Russia has to get moving. Too many people are dying — thousands a week — in a terrible and senseless war. This war should never have happened, and it wouldn’t have happened if I were president,” the U.S. leader said.

Trump, however, did not specify how he would encourage Russia to “move” to end the war.

The US president, who promised a quick ceasefire in Ukraine during the election campaign, has been increasingly expressing dissatisfaction with Moscow's actions in recent days.

• U.S. President's special envoy Steve Witkoff has arrived in Russia. He is expected to possibly meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin today, April 11.
