Kiev: Russian President Vladimir Putin has called on Ukrainian troops to eliminate their arms, because despite the ongoing efforts to negotiate with the ceasefire, there is a fierce fighting in the region.
US President Donald Trump called on Putin to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers because he said his envoy had “fruitful” talks with a Russian leader on a 30 -day proposed fire.
Last week, Russia has fought a rapid competition in the Kirtan Western border region, which occupied most of Ukraine last August.
The defeat of Krata will have a huge blow to Ukraine’s plans to use its grip on the region as a bargain in peace talks for a three -year war.
“We sympathize with President Trump’s demands,” Putin said in a remarks on Russian television. “
“If they put their arms and surrender, they will be guaranteed with life and dignity,” Putin said.
“Thousands of” Ukrainian army “are completely surrounded by the Russian army, and is in a very bad and weak position, Trump said.
‘Horrible massacre’
“I have strongly requested President Putin to save his lives,” Trump said. This will be a horrific massacre, which has not been seen since World War II. “
The Ukrainian military leadership denied the claims. Ukrainian general staff posted on social media, “There is no danger of being surrounded by our units.”
Zlinski reviewed reporters in comments in Kiev. “The situation in the region is clearly very difficult,” he said.
He said Russia was forced to withdraw troops from other areas on the frontline, which puts pressure on Ukrainian troops to control the Pokrovasic’s eastern logistics center.
Trump’s latest comments emerged when he updated a meeting between his envoy Steve Watkf and Putin on Thursday, suggesting a 30 -day break in the hostility of the US Ukrainian proposal.
“We had a very good and fruitful conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday on the social platform of his truth, and is a great opportunity that this terrifying, bloody war can eventually end,” Trump said on his social platform.
Ukraine’s grip is losing
Putin said Thursday that he had “serious questions” about the proposal and that events in Kraka would affect the next tricks towards ceasefire.
Zilnski accused the Russian leader of trying to weaken the ceasefire.
Zelinski posted on X, “Now he is doing everything possible to sabotage diplomacy by deploying extremely difficult and unacceptable conditions before the ceasefire.”
The Kremlin said on Friday that it was “hopefully hopeful” that the deal could be made, but Trump and Putin had to speak directly before developing the talks.
US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said in a Fox News interview that the United States has “some careful hope” after Vaticov’s visit.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at a meeting of a group of seven Western powers in Canada that the two sides would have to “privileges”.
The G7 Foreign Ministers warned Russia about new sanctions until it accepted the “ceasefire on equal terms”, saying that sanctions could include “oil prices along with caps on Ukraine, as well as additional assistance to Ukraine and other sources.”
France and Germany accused Russia to try to stop the ceasefire, and re -discuss Ukraine’s support at some European leaders’ video conference with Zilnski on Saturday.
Diplomatic sources said that the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Chief Kaja Call will suggest that Block Ukraine in 27 countries is supplied to 40 billion euros ($ 34 billion) in new military aid.
Ukraine hopes to hold a bargain in a conversation with Russia, and it was discussing a potential land with Moscow, which took Crimea in 2014 after its military operation in February 2022, occupied Ukraine’s fifth.
