Speaking earlier from the Oval Office alongside Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President Donald J. Trump said: “I'm very disappointed in Putin. He's been fighting hard, he's been fighting long and they lost millions — they lost like a million soldiers — and you know, with all of the heavy bombardment over the last two weeks, they've gained almost no land. Think of that? They've gained almost no land. I'm not gonna ever call anybody a ‘paper tiger,’ but Russia spent millions and millions of dollars in bombs, missiles, ammunition, and lives — their lives. And they've gained virtually no land. I think it's time to stop, I really do.”
