Trump: Negotiations to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine « go well »
US President Donald Trump has said negotiations on a truce between Russia and Ukraine are « going well », but stressed that the solution must come soon.
– There comes a moment when you either have to show what you can or shut up. We’ll see what happens, but I think things are going well, « Trump told reporters on the presidential plane Air Force One.
Trump’s comments came after a high -level meeting in Russia, where his lawmaker Steve Vitkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on April 11. The visit was part of the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to mediate a truce between the two countries. According to the Russian agency, the transport lasted four hours.
– I think the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia are probably in order. And you’ll find out more soon – Trump said.
A month ago, Ukraine agreed to a full 30-day truce in US-mediated negotiations in Jeddah. Meanwhile, Russia not only refused a completely ceasefire, but also continued to attack Ukrainian cities and multiple times violated partial ceasefire established in mid -March.
Some critics say Moscow is dragging and there is no real interest in stopping warfare, especially as it continues to advance to the battlefield. The Kremlin has not publicly committed itself to the terms of Ukraine. However, Moscow also accuses Ukraine of attacking its energy infrastructure.
