The Russian government commented on Sunday (13) that conversations with US President Donald Trump’s team were progressing very well, but it was too early to expect immediate results.
This is due to the level of damage caused to relationships under the government of Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden.
The Republican, who claims to want to be remembered as a peacemaker, repeatedly spoke that – that the US government now describes as a conflict by power of attorney between the United States and Russia, echoing Moscow’s position.
After the special envoy, he said on Saturday (120) that discussions to end the war may be going well, but “there is a point where you simply have to contain or be quiet.”

They describe the 2022 invasion as an appropriation of Putin -style imperial -style land, and European leaders have repeatedly required Russia to be defeated on the battlefield, although Moscow forces control almost one fifth of Ukraine.
The Russian President describes the war in Ukraine as part of a battle against a decline, which he said humbled Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 by expanding the NATO military alliance and invading what he considers Moscow’s sphere of influence, including Ukraine.
