Russia and Ukraine to start with ceasefire immediately, says Trump

US President Donald Trump says that Russia and Ukraine will “immediately” negotiate with the Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to a ceasefire and an end of the war.

Trump, who described the conversation as “very good”, also said that the peace conditions between the two parties would have to be negotiated.

Putin said that he was ready to work with Ukraine on a “memorandum about a possible future peace agreement”, but did not raise any requirements from the United States and the European countries for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire.

Trump also spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said: “This is a crucial moment”, and asked the United States not to distance itself from the talks.

While Trump expressed positively over his conversation with Putin, there was no indication of when peace negotiations would take place or whether Moscow is willing to make concessions to his demands for an armistice.

After his one -on -one conversation with Trump, Zelensky confirmed the wish of Ukraine for a “complete and unconditional ceasefire” and warned whether Moscow is not finished, “there must be greater sanctions”.

Zelensky used to spoke before Trump's conversation with Putin and said that after Ukraine he had made no decisions about Ukraine without describing his country as “affairs of the principles”.

He added that he had no details about a “memorandum”, but said that “as soon as they had received something from the Russians, they will” be able to formulate their vision accordingly “.

After calling on his social side on his truth, Trump wrote: “Russia and Ukraine will immediately negotiate the negotiations on an armistice and, more importantly, an end to war,” and added that he had informed Zelensky in a second call, to which other world leaders belonged.

He added: “The conditions for this are negotiated between the two parties, as it can be because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of.”

Zelensky said that the negotiation process “has to include both American and European representatives at a reasonable level”.

“It is crucial for all of us that the United States does not distance themselves from the conversations and striving for peace, because the only one who benefits from it is Putin,” he said.

Trump later spoke at an event at an event of the White House and said that the United States would not move away from the mediation of talks between Russia and Ukraine, but that he has a “red line in his head” when he stops sliding both on both.

He also denied that the United States had resigned from its negotiating role.

In the past few weeks, Trump has repeatedly warned that the United States would withdraw from the negotiations because it was increasingly frustrated when it comes to the lack of developments by Moscow and Kyiv in Friedensweg.

When he was asked what he believes in Russia, he said, he believes Putin has enough of the war and wants it to end.

In the meantime, Putin – who described the call with Trump with Trump, whom he visited from a music school during a visit to the city of Sochi as “open, informative and constructively”, spoke about the potential for an armistice.

“We have agreed to the US President that Russia will offer and is ready to work with Ukraine on a memorandum for a possible future peace agreement,” he said.

This, he added, would define “a number of positions”, including “principles of the comparison and a period for the conclusion of a possible peace agreement … including a possible ceasefire for a specific period, relevant agreements should be made”.

Yury Ushakov, an adjutant of the Russian president, said that a time frame of the ceasefire was not “discussed … Although Trump naturally emphasizes his interest in achieving one or the other agreement as soon as possible”.

Zelensky held a second call to Trump after the US President spoke to Putin, which also included the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and the leaders of France, Italy, Germany and Finland.

“I would like to thank President Trump for his tireless efforts to bring an armistice to Ukraine,” said von der Leyen and added: “It is important that the USA will remain.”

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that Pope Leo's offer to organize potential peace talks was a gesture that was welcomed by the USA and the other leaders in the call and “positively assessed”.

At the beginning of this month, the new Pope offered the Vatican as an event location for possible peace talks after Putin rejected Zelensky's offer personally for negotiations in Turkey.

Kyiv previously said that Putin's comments said that he wishes peace.

“Putin wants war,” said Andriy Yermak, a top adjutant from the Ukrainian president after Russia started the start of Ukraine on Sunday, the biggest drone attack since the beginning of the full invasion.

According to Ukraine, at least 10 people have been killed in Russian strikes in the past few days – including nine people in an attack on a civilian minibus in northeastern Ukraine. Russia says that it also intercepted Ukrainian drones.

The strike on the bus Fared only a few hours after Russia and Ukraine had had their first personal conversations for more than three years. A prisoner exchange was agreed, but there was no obligation to do an armistice.

Trump had offered to take part in the talks in Turkey if Putin was there too, but the Russian President declined to go.

Russia has already explained ceasefire – but only temporary. It declared one for May 8th to 11th -which coincided with the victorious celebrations to mark the end of the Second World War -but Kyiv would not register for it and said Putin could not be trustworthy and an immediate 30 -day ceasefire was required.

The Kremlin announced a similar 30-hour armistice over Easter, but while both sides arrived over a fight, they accused each other of hundreds of violations.

Russia and Ukraine have been in war since Moscow in February 2022.
