The US President Donald Trump He warned today (18/4/25) that the United States is ready to take another step “very soon” if no agreement between Moscow and Kiev is reached for the end of the war in the war in Ukraine.
Donald Trump said that “we will stop participating” in the efforts to settle the war in Ukraine if either Russia or Ukraine are making the end of the conflict very difficult.
“If for any reason, one of the two sides make things very difficult, We will simply say: ‘You are stupid, you are stupid, you are awful’, and we will close it. “
“But I hope we don’t have to do this,” he said. However, he told reporters that he does not want to say that he was leaving the conversations. He stressed that he still believes that there is a good opportunity to end the conflict.
“There is no specific number of days, but we want to solve it quickly,” said the US president from the White House.
His statements are made after the statements of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who threatened earlier that Washington “will take another step” If he concludes that peace “is not possible”.
Rubio said that while the United States is committed to helping to end the war, if a clear road to peace is not shown soon, they will leave mediation efforts for peace, the State Department said.
“The United States has other priorities,” the US diplomat’s leader added, departing from France, following a series of meetings held yesterday, Thursday, with Ukrainians and Europeans in Paris.
In March, Donald Trump had initially proposed an unconditional and complete ceasefire, a proposal first accepted by Kiev under the pressure of Washington but was rejected by Vladimir Putin.
The White House then welcomed the two warranty on a cessation of attacks on the opponent’s energy infrastructure for 30 days. However, the Kremlin has said that it believes that this moratorium is “expiring”, causing more confusion in the direction of the ceasefire that Donald Trump sought.
Vladimir Putin tries to save time? “I hope not,” the Republican president replied. “I’ll tell you soon.” “No one is fooling me, I try to help,” he also said.
Americans, Europeans and Ukrainians agreed to meet again next week in London for new talks.
