Donald Trump says he believes Russia "have the cards" in any peace talks to end the war in Ukraine because they have "taken a lot of territory".

The US president told the BBC he trusted that Moscow wants to see an end to the war, which Russia started when it waged a full-scale invasion almost three years ago.

Trump was flying back to Washington DC after speaking at a Saudi-backed investment meeting in Florida, where he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "dictator" for the second time in a day.

"I think the Russians want to see the war end, I really do. I think they have the cards a little bit, because they've taken a lot of territory. They have the cards," Trump told the BBC on Air Force One.

When asked if he trusts that Russia wants peace, Trump said "I do".

    This guys not only an embarrassment to his country he’s a shit negotiator. Russia is on the fucking ropes. Inflation is fucking them, their interest rates are 21%, they have no labor and no money to import stuff. Their army is shit and running out of everything. Ukraine needs 12 months or less of supply and Russia will be very fucked.

    They do though. Russia has less to lose and defense in a war of attrition is better. It’s a harsh truth

    “Russia holds all the power.”

    Russia: *weakly coughs blood holding a ‘Will work for food’ sign surrounded by empty vodka bottles and rent notice*
