Trump called Russia a powerful military power

Russia is a powerful military power, and Western countries should take this into account. This was announced on August 19 by US President Donald Trump in an interview with Fox News channel.

"Russia is a powerful military power. Whether people like it or not, this is a powerful country," the American leader said.

According to Trump, it was not necessary to start a conflict with such a large country. As the president noted, Ukraine failed to stop the Russian army in Donbas, which liberated most of the region.
