U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said the settlement of the war in Ukraine will be a priority for him after his inauguration. He said he considers the situation in the Middle East to be less complicated.

In an interview with the French publication Paris Match, Trump said the Middle East is a big priority, but it is a less complicated situation than Ukraine with Russia.

He also said the problem of Ukraine must be solved together with Russia.

Trump said both countries, the Middle East and Ukraine, are losing numbers that no one can believe; hundreds of thousands of soldiers are dying.
