The president of the United States, he said during the night of this Sunday that he plans to speak with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, on Tuesday with the purpose of discussing the end of the war in Ukraine. “I will talk to Tuesday. A lot of work has been done during the weekend, ”said the Republican to journalists traveling at the Air Force One during a flight back to Washington from Florida.
“We want to see if we can put an end to that war. Maybe we can, maybe we can’t, but I think we have a very good opportunity, ”the president continued. Trump tries to achieve Putin’s support for a 30 -day fire fire proposal that Ukraine accepted last week.
The US government already gave signs at the end of last week to trust the possibilities of a high fire, first, and the end of after the conversations he had with Putin in Moscow the envoy of Washington, Steve Witkoff. Already on Friday, Trump indicated in social networks that there is “a very good possibility that this horrible and bloody war ends” and asked his Russian counterpart to be benevolence for them. In subsequent statements, he insisted: “A lot of good vibrations arrive from Russia.”
Russia regained land in recent months in that region, so the distribution of territories will be one of the issues on the table in the conversation with Putin. “We will talk about land. We will talk about energy plants, ”Trump explained to journalists when asked about concessions. “I think that much of this was already discussed by both parties, Ukraine and Russia. We are already talking about that, distribute certain assets. ”
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, had also spoken about the possibilities of Moscow accepting the agreement. Given that scenario, it was said “cautiously optimistic” days ago after the last contacts, although he acknowledged that the situation of the war is “complex.” The Foreign Ministers of the G-7, the seven global economic powers, among which is the United States, launched, on the other hand, a notice to Russia, advancing that they will apply new sanctions if Putin does not accept the offer of truce on the table. Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, summoned on Saturday “sooner or later, Putin will have to sit down to negotiate,” he warned. The Russian response, for the moment, goes through Putin’s last message, which only contemplates that Ukrainian soldiers in the Russian region are surrendered.
