After 100 days in office, a Peace Agreement of Ukraine Russia Trump is evading

Before his presidential win last autumn, Donald Trump was famous to end the war between Russia and Ukraine in “One Day”.

During the first sound setting of Trump's second presidency, it was much more difficult to be a peace agreement to a ceasefire agreement from both sides of both sides, which was respected by both sides when the leader of the White House had expected.

Trump returned his first comments about the three -year conflict.

“Well, I said that in a figurative sense and said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point,” Trump said to Time Magazine last week. “Obviously, people know that when I said it was said in a joke, but that was said too [the war] is ended. “

In order to be fair to the Trump government, there was no time to initiate talks with Russia and then with Ukraine in order to convey a ceasefire company that could lead to peace talks. So far there has been no real progress in this regard.

The talks between the USA and the teams from Kyiv and Moscow have continued to take place, but Washington threatened to end the negotiations last week if there were no impending signs of compromises. The warfare parties have continued to accuse each other of saboting a ceasefire company and not respecting the United States in order not to target their respective energy infrastructure.

US Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said on Sunday that the coming week would be “very critical” for the White House [ceasefire talks] is an endeavor in which we want to continue to be involved. “

“There are reasons to be optimistic, but there are reasons to be realistic,” said Rubio and added: “We are close, but we are not close enough.”

Russia and Ukraine continue to act drone and rocket attacks, while they have separate conversations with the hopes of the American Kyiv to restore their territorial sovereignty before the war when the United States has to accept the loss of occupied territory like Crimea as part of a peace business.

In the meantime, the Kremlin insists that a peace agreement is seriously going. The spokesman Dmitry Peskov tells the reporters on Monday that the Russia's war against Ukraine will continue to continue.

“The willingness of the Russian side was repeatedly confirmed by the President [Vladimir Putin]The willingness of the Russian side without preliminary conditions to start the negotiating process with Ukraine in order to go on a peaceful way. The efforts continue. That's all we can say, “he said loudly comments that have been translated by NBC News.

Tina Fordham, founder of Fordham Global Foresight, noticed that, while the next week, she saw no reasons for optimism for the war, while the next week was framed as another “make or break” personnel for diplomacy on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“It's easy to start wars, it's difficult to stop her,” she said on Monday to “Squawk Box Europe” from CNBC.

“Both sides will say President Trump that they want to make peace because Trump wants to hear that. But for Putin's advantage to keep the status quo as long as possible,” Fordham remarked.

“I think we see that President Trump is very frustrated,” she added. “Remember that he promised peace on the first day and that he really wants the Nobel Peace Prize. And Vladimir Putin has never in a hurry to make peace. And the circumstances really play for the advantage of Russia.”

When Trump and Zelenskyy held in the Vatican on Saturday in the Vatican on the sidelines of Pope Francis in the Vatican, optimism existed that the leader of Ukraine Trump could have convinced not to give in to the Russian demands for Ukrainian territorial concessions.

Trump seemed to be stronger after meeting Zelenskyy, and told the press on Sunday that he expected the Russian president “stop shooting and sign a deal” and threaten further sanctions against Moscow.

However, Trump also seemed to indicate that Zelenskyy was ready to hand over the Crimea that Moscow annexed in 2014 as part of a deal – a “red line” that the Ukrainian leader had previously refused. When asked by reporters on Sunday, whether he thought that the Ukrainian president was ready to give up the peninsula, Trump replied: “I think yes.”

Zelenskyy announced the BBC Friday that its countries did not “have enough weapons to return to the Crimea Peninsula” and that “a full and unconditional ceasefire gives the opportunity to discuss everything”.

The Kremlin said on Saturday that Putin was ready for direct negotiations with Ukraine without conditions. European diplomats remain skeptical.

Kaja Kallas, the head of foreign policy of the European Union, announced on Monday that Russia had not wished for peace in the past few weeks given his attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Russia has refused such hostility to civil goals in the war despite several strikes.

“We know very well here that Ukraine wants to peace and it takes two to want peace. It only takes one to want to war and we see that Russia does not want peace,” Kallas told Silvia Amaro from CNBC.

“Russia is the one who bombs civilians and civilian infrastructure, while Ukraine agreed to an unconditional ceasefire over a month ago. So we have to see more pressure on Russia so that Russia also wants to peace,” she said, adding that the position of the block in the crims in the future was uncontrolled.

“International law is very clear: the Crimea is Ukraine, and I think when the Crimea is given away, the result is that it will only encourage aggressors because it pays off to change the limits with violence,” she said.

Oleksiy Gonchenko, an independent Ukrainian legislator, said on Monday: “The only obstacle to peace is Russia and Putin because he doesn't want peace. We Ukrainians want to peace as soon as possible.”

However, he agreed that there could be space for maneuvers when it comes to a ceasefire being reached while Russia is still occupying the Ukrainian country.

“Ukraine will never recognize centimeters of our territory as Russian, but hostilities can end with the actual control of the Russians of a part of our areas that will be illegal. Unfortunately, this will not be the first case in world history and probably not the last,” he told CNBC's “Europe Europe Early Edition”.

“One day the Russian Empire will fall apart as if it happened before and we will take it [the territories] back. But for the moment we cannot throw the Russians out of our territories. But once again we will never recognize them as Russian. And that should be absolutely clear, “he said.
