Estonian President Alar Karis believes that U.S. President Donald Trump's shift in stance on Russia’s war was influenced by his recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as fatigue from fruitless talks with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.

Karis said this in comments to Ukrinform.

He said it seemed that Trump had grown tired of endless conversations with Putin that lead nowhere and he was likely disappointed.

According to Karis, Trump's meeting with Zelensky had an impact.

Karis added that Trump is increasingly convinced that something must be done and that the United States must take action.
