'Lipstick on a pig': CNN hits Trump's spin on Putin's ceasefire statement

Raw Story  

Donald Trump's interpretation of Vladimir Putin's non-committal statement on a ceasefire with Ukraine was like "putting lipstick on a pig," according to CNN's Brianna Keilar. And, while Russia would support a pause in the fighting, "There are issues that need to be discussed,” Putin said, adding that he may need to “have a phone call with Trump.” Trump was asked about the statement during an Oval Office meeting Thursday with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Keilar said that the power plant spoken of, the Zaporizhzhia facility, is the largest in Europe, "Which Russia was able to take over and supply so much of the power to Ukraine, but also other parts of the continent." "He's trying to kind of put some lipstick on, I don't know, maybe a pig," Keilar said of Trump's spin, since Putin was "quibbling with a lot of the details" of the ceasefire agreement.
