Trump Sets New Deadline for Ukraine Ceasefire Negotiations with Putin
Former President Donald Trump criticizes Vladimir Putin over Ukraine conflict, demanding a ceasefire within 10 to 12 days.
Following a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump stated that he expects Russia to agree to a ceasefire within "ten or 12 days," as he believes further delays are unwarranted. This comes after Trump previously set a 50-day deadline, warning that failure to comply would lead to stringent tariffs on Russian goods.
Trump, speaking at a news conference in Scotland, emphasized the lack of progress in peace negotiations, stating that the time for talking was running out. He noted the stark contrast between Putin's previous assurances during their discussions and the reality of ongoing missile attacks on Ukrainian cities. Despite expressing a personal rapport with Putin, Trump conveyed frustration over the failure to secure peace.
The Kremlin, however, has not publicly acknowledged the new timeline, with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissing Trump's previous deadline as "very serious." Russian MP Andrey Gurulyov suggested that Trump's demands hold little weight, asserting that Russia remains steadfast in its military objectives.
While Ukraine's presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak praised Trump's assertive position, the complexities of the conflict remain daunting. Russia's insistence on stringent preconditions for peace—such as Ukraine abandoning NATO ambitions—has been met with strong resistance from Kyiv and its allies.
As fighting intensifies, and with three and a half years of conflict having produced little in the way of resolution, the prospect of reaching a ceasefire agreement within the next week and a half appears increasingly speculative.
