Trump called Putin's statement “promising, but incomplete” a ceasefire
US President Donald Trump called the “promising” statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin about a 30-day truce in the Russian-Ukrainian war. His words were quoted by Sky News and Bloomberg.
“Putin made a very promising statement,” Trump said at a press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. However, according to the US President, these statements were “incomplete”.
Trump confirmed that he was ready to discuss with Putin a proposal to cease. According to him, the special representative of the US President in the Middle East, Steve Whitkoff, is now conducting “serious negotiations in Russia” and, as expected, will soon meet with Putin.
“I hope Russia will act correctly,” Trump added, noting that he would like to see the ceasefire from Russia.
During the press conference with Rutta, the US president also said what Washington representatives spoke with the Ukrainian delegation as part of a truce agreement. In particular, the issue of control over the territories and the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, as well as the membership of Ukraine in NATO, was discussed.
“We discussed [with Ukraine] territory, because I do not want to waste time on the ceasefire, if it does not make sense. So we say: “Look, you can get it, but this cannot.” The issue of NATO and membership in NATO was discussed. Everyone knows the answer, he has been known for 40 years. Many details of the final agreement have already been discussed. Now we will see if Russia is ready. And if not, this will become a very disappointing moment for the whole world, ”Trump said.
- The United States during negotiations with Ukraine in Saudi Arabia proposed to introduce a 30-day ceasefire on the entire front line. Ukraine supported this proposal.
- Vladimir Putin, commenting on the idea of a truce, said that he agreed with the proposal to stop hostilities, but it should lead to "to the long -term world." At the same time, he noted that there are “nuances” and issues that need to be discussed before signing the agreement. Among them is the operation of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region.
