Trump is preparing a meeting with Zelensky in New York. Its aim is to convey a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, although it escalates the conflict.
US President Donald Trump is likely to meet Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky next week. The White House chief still hopes that he will be able to convey a peace agreement between Kiev and Moscow, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday. According to the AFP report, TASR reports this.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to impose sanctions against Russia if President Vladimir Putin did not compromise. However, it has not done so yet, although Russia is intensifying its attacks against Ukraine. The President has completed “several phone calls with Putin, several meetings with Greeny, including the one that is likely to take place next week in New York” where the world leaders arrive at the UN General Assembly, Rubio told reporters during a visit to Israel.
Trump’s efforts to peace
“(Trump) will continue to try. If peace is possible, he wants to achieve it,” said American diplomacy chief. “At some point, the president may conclude that it is not possible. He has not yet reached there, but he could work on it,” he stressed. Rubio pointed out data on the loss on the front, where Russia allegedly lost only 20,000 soldiers during July.
In August, President of the US met Putin in Alaska for the first time since 2022. A few days later he also met with green and European leaders in the White House. Rubio said that Trump is unique in communicating with Putin, as well as with Green and Europeans. “If it somehow withdrew or imposed sanctions on Russia and said” I ended up “, there would be no one in the world to convey the end (war),” he said according to AFP.
Trump criticizes Biden
Before joining the office, Trump promised to end the conflict in Ukraine within 24 hours. At the same time, he blamed his predecessor Joe Biden of responsibility for the Russian invasion and criticized the financial assistance provided by the United States to Ukraine.
