US President Donald Trump commented on the statements of Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Washington could leave the negotiation process in Ukraine if a quick truce is impossible. There is no certain number of days, but we want to do it quickly (…). If for some reason one of the two sides will do it very difficult, we just say that you are stupid, you are fools, you are terrible people. And we just stay away. At the same time, Trump said that it seems to him that both Russia and Ukraine “want to put an end to this.” He expressed confidence that there were “very good chances” to reach an agreement and rejected the assumption that Moscow “plays” with it. Secretary of State Marco Rubio the day before stated that the United States will terminate intermediary attempts to reach a peace agreement within a few days, if they do not see clear signs that it can be achieved. Rubio’s prison was made after negotiations in Paris with the participation of Ukraine and the European Union. At these negotiations, the United States, as stated in the State Department, introduced the “contours of the durable and long -term world” according to Bloomberg, US representatives suggested weakening sanctions against Russia in the event of a long ceasefire and at the same time admitted that the occupied territories of Ukraine would remain under Moscow’s control. On April 18, a press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that the contacts on the ceasefire “are difficult, the topic is difficult,” but assured that Russia is ready for a dialogue.
