In an exclusive one-hour no holds barred interview with Moldova Ambassador to the US, Vladimer Kulminski said that Russia could no longer win the war outright with Ukraine. He said the quickest way to peace is an armistice that would last for many years, similar to North and South Korea.

Trump Gaggle With Reporters on Air Force One
Thanks to Hugo Lowell, White House Correspondent, The Guardian, Washington DC Bureau, from Saturday
DID WATCHING DIGNIFIED TRANSFER MAKE YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT WAR?
President Trump: “No, we’re winning the war by a lot. We decimated their whole evil empire. It will continue -I’m sure for a little while, but I’m very proud of the people.
SENDING IN GROUND TROOPS?
President Trump: “I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t think it’s an appropriate question. You know, I’m not going to answer it. Could there be? Possibly, for very good reason. There would have to be a very good reason. I would say if we ever did that, they would be so decimated that they wouldn’t be able to fight at the ground level.”
GROUND TROOPS TO SECURE ENRICHED URANIUM?
President Trump: “We’ll find out about that. We haven’t talked about it. It was a total obliteration, and they haven’t been able to get to it. And at some point, maybe we will. It would be a great thing. Right now, we’re just decimating them, but we haven’t gone after it.
“But something we could do later on. We wouldn’t do it now.”
CONCERNED ABOUT KURDS STAGE A COUP?
President Trump: “We’re not looking to the Kurds going in. We’re very friendly with the Kurds, as you know, but we don’t want to make the war any more complex than it is.”
HAVE YOU RULED OUT KURDS?
President Trump: “Yes, I have ruled that out. I don’t want the Kurds going in. I don’t want to see the Kurds get hurt and killed. They’re willing to go in, but I’ve told them I don’t want them going in. The war’s complicated enough without getting the Kurds involved.
US RESPONSIBLE FOR GIRLS’ SCHOOL STRIKE?
President Trump: “No, in my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran.”
(Secretary of War Hegseth jumped in: “We’re certainly investigating.”)
President Trump: “It was done by Iran. They’re very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran.”
FOR HOW LONG WILL THE IRAN WAR CONTINUE?
President Trump: “I don’t know. Whatever it takes. But their military is almost non-existent. We hit their military itself very hard. Maybe we will, maybe we won’t, we haven’t made that designation.”
WORRIED ABOUT GAS PRICES?
President Trump: “No. This is a short excursion into something that should’ve been done for 47 years. No president had the guts to do it.”
RUSSIA SUPPORTING IRAN?
President Trump: “No, I haven’t had any indication of that whatsoever. If they are, they’re not doing a very good job because Iran is not doing too well.”
Steve Witkoff also took questions:
DO YOU STILL WANT A DEAL?
Witkoff: “There is, I think that’s going to be up to the President. But they didn’t seem to be very amenable in that first set of negotiations. They say we have the inalienable right to enrich. They bragged about having 60% enriched fuel enough for 11 bombs. They told me and Jared ‘we’re not going to give you diplomatically what you take militarily.’”
DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE MAX LEVERAGE?
Witkoff: “I think the President has proved that we have.”
President Trump: “We’ve got a lot of negotiating leverage. Maybe maximum. But we’re not looking to settle. They’d like to settle, we’re not looking to settle.”
