Trump moves the ceasefire position on the eve of the negotiations

Donald Trump said he wants to bypass the ceasefire in Ukraine to move directly to a permanent peace agreement after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

After a great change in position, the US president said that after the Summit after the Friday summit, it would be “the best way to stop the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine”, adding ceasefire often “do not hold”.

On Monday, Trump will welcome Valadimir Zelensky, President of Ukraine, Washington and urge him to agree to a peace treaty.

After a phone call with Trump after the Zelensky summit, he called for a real, lasting peace, adding that “the fire should stop” and the murders stop.

Trump’s comments indicate a dramatic shift in their position how to end the war, saying only on Friday before the summit, which wants to stop the fire “fast”.

Ukraine’s main requirement was a rapid ceasefire before talking about a long -term settlement, and Trump reportedly told European leaders in advance that his purpose was to obtain a ceasefire agreement at the summit.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, it was reported on numerous newsletters that Putin presented a proposal in which Ukraine, which transmits complete control over its eastern Donetsk region, occupied by 70%occupied by Russia.

In return, Russia would agree that the front lines are frozen, and there are obviously other uncertain concessions.

The US president is said to have previously stated that any peaceful transaction provides for “some substitutes”, and he submitted Zelensky’s proposal after the summit.

Just a few days ago, the President of Ukraine excluded control over the Donbass region – compiled the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk – saying that it could be used as a bridgehead for future Russian attacks.

The BBC CBS partner reports, citing diplomatic sources that European diplomats were concerned about Trump on Monday could try to pressure Zelensky in the terms he and Putin may discuss at the summit.

CBS quotes sources who say Trump told European leaders after the summit that Putin would make “some concessions” but did not specify what they were.

In an interview with Fox News after the Summit on Friday, Trump was asked what advice he had for the Ukrainian leader, to which he replied, saying “to make a deal”.

“Russia is a very great power, and they are not,” he added.

Earlier, Trump threatened a “very serious consequence” when Putin did not agree to end the war, last month, a term for Moscow to reach the ceasefire or face new strict sanctions, including secondary tariffs.

After Friday’s Friday, there was little after Friday, but Trump insisted that Trump insisted on progress.

On Saturday, Putin called the summit “very useful” and said that he “laid out our position” by Trump.

“We had the opportunity we did, talk about the genesis, the reasons for this crisis. This is the elimination of these root reasons that should become the basis for resolution,” the Russian President said.

Meanwhile, the “coalition of those who want” is a group of countries that have pledged to strengthen the support of Ukraine, which includes the UK, France and Germany – to call Zelensky’s visit to the White House on Monday afternoon.

A group of European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and President of the European Commission Ursul von der Leyen, stated: “Negotiations will need further, including the Zelensky president.”

Leaders said they were “ready to work” for a tripartite summit with European support.

“We are ready to maintain pressure on Russia,” they said, adding: “Ukraine will make decisions on its territory. International borders should not change by force.”

British Prime Minister Kire Starmer praised Trump’s efforts to stop the war, saying that they “brought us closer to what before.”

“While progress has been made, the next step should be additional negotiations with the participation of the President Zelensky. The way to peace in Ukraine cannot be resolved without him,” he said.

And in Kiev the Ukrainians described a sense of “crushed” scenes from Alaska.

“I understand that for the negotiations you shook your hand, you can’t just break away by Putin in the face when he arrives. But this is a sight with a red track and a lap soldiers, it doesn’t make sense,” said 50-year-old Veteran Sergius, a 50-year-old veteran from the East Donetsk.
