On February 5, 2025, in Washington, the first official meeting took place between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu after Trump returned to the White House.
The main topic of discussion was The future of the Middle East; however, Trump unexpectedly addressed the situation in Ukraine, comparing Ukrainian cities devastated by Russian strikes to gas, but in an even more horrific condition.
Trump: “Because of Russian strikes, Ukrainian cities are terrifying”
The US President stated that Washington is engaged in active negotiations regarding Ukraine.
Trump emphasized his desire to put an end to the Russian war against Ukraine.
He pointed out that the level of destruction in Ukrainian territories surpasses that observed in gas.
Direct quote from Trump:
“We are conducting very good, very constructive negotiations in Ukraine.
Due to Russian strikes, Ukrainian cities look as bad as gas, and even worse. I want to stop the absolute massacre.
I receive weekly reports on the number of soldiers who have died in Ukraine, and these figures are astonishing. And that doesn’t even account for the destroyed cities and all the deceased. Therefore, I want it to stop,” the US President said.

According to the White House, Trump receives weekly reports on casualties in Ukraine. He stated that:
“The losses of the Ukrainian army – 700 thousand people
The losses of the Russian army – more than 800 thousand people
These figures have shocked the international community ……………
Netanyahu: “Israel must complete the operation in gas”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu turned his focus to The war against Hamas.
The primary goals of Israel as stated by Netanyahu:
- Complete destruction of Hamas’s military and governmental capabilities
- Release of all hostages
- Guarantees that the gas sector will no longer pose a threat to Israel
Quote from Netanyahu:
“To ensure our future and bring peace to our region, Israel must complete the operation in the gas sector.”
US Negotiations: What Awaits Ukraine and Israel?
Washington is negotiating not only with Kyiv but also with Moscow.
Trump expressed hope for reaching agreements in the near future.
Israel continues its fight against Hamas despite pressure from the West.
Analysts note:
“Trump’s comments about negotiations with Russia could raise alarms in Ukraine, as he has previously claimed he could quickly end the war without detailing how.”
