Approaching the determination of the tones of 100th The day of his second administration at the end of April, US President Donald Trump increased pressure on Russia and Ukraine to end the three -year conflict at a high price of a territorial license.
According to Interfax, a special envoy of the United States Steve Witkoff, a former tycoon giant who changed the Kremlin Whisperer, came to Moscow on Friday. He is expected to conduct further peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin-Z, to whom he met three times earlier-in the fragile time in relations in Moscow-Washington, which they have just defined since Trump's return to the White House.
Until now, the Kremlin has approached the US-sponsored Ukrainian peace negotiations-what caused a partial, poorly observed suspension of weapons for energy infrastructure last month-with nice difficulties, avoiding Ire that Trump largely directed Ukraine to the leadership of its fluctuations during conversations and its injection of clear security. The Washington leader has repeatedly appointed his Ukrainian equivalent of Volodymyr Zelenskyy for overestimating his lever in both conflict and discussions, as well as – at the beginning of this week – disregarding the possibility of renouncing Crimea.
But the intensification of Russian attacks on Kijiv at the beginning of this week after the embrace on Easter led Trump Make a rare shot against Putin on Thursday.
“I am not satisfied with Russian strikes in Kiev,” wrote Trump on his social media platform.
“This is not necessary and very bad time,” added the White House leader. “Vladimir, stop!”
“I didn't like last night, I wasn't happy with it,” said Trump in a separate press briefing. “We put great pressure on Russia, and Russia knows about it.”
Trump's frustration was excited about the detained pace of diplomatic efforts of the room led by the US, which Washington indicated that it could be close to abandonment. On Wednesday, the intended talks in London between Great Britain, French, German, Ukrainian and the US were reduced after the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the special envoy of Witkoff were reduced.
“We made a very clear proposal to both the Russians and Ukrainians, and the time has come to either say” yes “or the United States will leave this process,” said US vice president JD Vance earlier.
The silhouette of the final offer of the US room remains elusive Axios reports The latest framework offers Russia recognition of Moscow in Moscow of the occupation of Crimea, raising sanctions imposed since 2014, and the renunciation of ambitions by Ukraine to join the NATO-Critical Military Alliance, Kremlin's long-lasting goal called as the underlying his invasion 2022.
In return, Ukraine will secure the desired guarantee of security against further Russian intrusions, part of the Kharikiv-one region of four attached by Russia in a three-year conflict-and help in reconstruction.
CNBC could not independently confirm the framework of the framework and contacted the White House for a comment.
If they materialize, frame conditions mean a clear change in the tone of Ukraine, whose leadership persistently excluded the possibility of territorial concessions.
At the beginning of this week, Vance signaled that the room required “at a wide level, which pages say: we will stop the murder, we intend to freeze territorial lines at a certain level close to the place where they are today.”
He developed: “Current lines, somewhere close to them, is a place where, ultimately, I think you will draw lines in conflict. Of course, that Ukrainians and Russians will have to give some territories that they currently have. They will have to be some territorial exchanges.”
This week Zelenskyy hit the concept of surrendering to sovereign land, to say categorically, in accordance with the explanation that “Ukraine does not recognize the profession of Crimea. There is nothing to talk about. This is beyond our constitution.”
But the best brass of Ukraine seems more reluctant to be open to the possibility of:
“In one of the scenarios, what you say to give up the territory. This is unfair, but for the room of a temporary room there may be a (a) solution. Temporarily,” said the mayor of Kiev Vitali Kliczko in a television interview with BBC News.
