President of the United States Donald Trump considers the conflict in eastern Ukraine a European problem, therefore he does not consider his solution a priority for his country.

About this on the air of the Black Sea television and radio company, answering the questions of the "Observer", said the expert of the International Center for Advanced Studies Yevgeny Yaroshenko.

According to him, Moscow and Washington have an asymmetric attitude towards the Ukrainian crisis.

"Russia is interested, as soon as possible, to resolve the crisis on its own terms. Because this conflict binds Russia with sanctions and a negative image in the international arena. And the US Ukrainian crisis does not prevent itself from feeling comfortable on the international scene. Trump demonstrates that the Ukrainian crisis is a European problem and let France and Germany, as NATO allies, deal with Ukraine themselves, this issue should bother them more, "the expert stressed..

Yaroshenko said that the US will not want to join the negotiations on Ukraine in the "Norman format" because of the position of Donald Trump.

"Trump does not want to include the US in the" Norman format ". He believes that there are more serious challenges for the US national interests: the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons, the DPRK, the Syrian crisis, terrorism and other challenges, "the expert explained..

As reported by the "Observer", US President Donald Trump for the first time will meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Washington.
