In the negotiations on the Ukraine War, US President Donald Trump sees an agreement with Russia: “I think we have a deal with Russia,” said Trump on Wednesday in Washington. Now he still had to convince the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, which is “more difficult”. Details were initially not known that statements from Kiev and Moscow were not immediately available in the night of Thursday. A few hours earlier, his spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt had announced that Trump was frustrated in view of how slowly the negotiations will be made. In addition, she said Selenskyj seems to “move in the wrong direction”. At the USA with the withdrawal of the USA from the Ukraine negotiations, the governments in Kiev or Moscow had threatened to have the conversations “very difficult”. In the election campaign, he initially claimed that he could end the Ukraine war within 24 hours. Later he named six months as a period of time, and after a phone call to Putin on February 12, an “immediately” start of talks had agreed. Negotiations with representatives of Russia and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia at the end of March did not make a breakthrough. Putin rejected a proposal submitted by the USA and Ukraine for an unconditional ceasefire. In the event of its efforts to end the war, the government in Washington increased the pressure on Kiev in the course of its efforts to do without the return of some areas occupied by Russia. The refusal of the Ukrainian President Selenskyj to cede the Crimean peninsula annexed by Russia was “very harmful to the peace negotiations” with Moscow, Trump wrote on Wednesday in his online service Truth Social. US Vice President JD Vance put up with freezing the current border lines in the Ukraine War.
