President Donald Trump said he hoped that Russian leader Vladimir Putin would be on the verge of ending the war in Ukraine, but he warned that the Kremlin chief could refuse to attack an agreement – Trump warned that Trump warned Putin.

In an interview to the Fox News “Fox and Friends” program on Tuesday, Trump said he believes Putin’s method of action will be clear in the next two weeks. Trump once again rejected US troops on the ground in Ukraine and did not give any details about the security guarantees that he had earlier said that the Washington could offer Kiev under any post -war settlement.

Trump said, “I don’t think it’s going to be a problem (reaching peace agreement), being honest with you.

“We are going to know about President Putin in the next two weeks … It is possible that he does not want to make a deal,” Trump said, “Trump said, who has previously threatened further sanctions on Russia and countries that buy his oil if Putin has not made peace.

Ukraine and its European allies have been happy with the promise of Trump’s security guarantee to help end the war during an extraordinary summit on Monday, but it faces many questions, including how Russia will be ready to play the ball.

Ukrainian President Wolodmeer Zillsky called the White House talks as “big steps” in the White House to end Europe’s most deadly conflict and establish a trilateral meeting with Putin and Trump in the coming weeks.

Zillski leaders, including Germany, France and the United Kingdom, were tied to the summit. His warmth with his devastating Oval Office meeting with Trump in February created rapid contradictions.

But the path to peace is deeply uncertain and Zilnsky can be forced to make a tragic agreement to end the war, which began with a complete attack on Russia in February 2022. More than 1 million people have been killed or injured in the conflict, analysts say.

Russian invasion

Although Washington’s conversation allowed Kiev to temporarily a sense of relief, there is no permission in the fighting. Russia launched 270 drones and 10 missiles in an attack on Ukraine overnight on Ukraine, Ukraine Air Force said. The Ministry of Energy said that Russia has targeted energy facilities in the Central Polatawa area, which is Ukraine’s only oil refinery, which has caused a huge fire.

However, Russia also returned the bodies of 1,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers on Tuesday. According to the official -run TASS News Agency, Moscow has received 19 bodies of its own soldiers in return.

“The good news (from Monday’s summit) is that no shock.

“On the negative side, the nature of security guarantees and what is in the mind of the United States is a great deal of uncertainty.”

On Tuesday, Ukrainian allies held talks in the so -called “coalition” format, which discussed additional sanctions to pressure Russia. The grouping has also agreed that the planning teams will meet with US counterparts in the coming days to advance security guarantees for Ukraine.

Officials told Reuters that NATO military leaders are expected to meet on Wednesday to discuss Ukraine, with US General Dan Kane, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is expected to attend the meeting.

“Now we are actively working on the details at all levels, how the guarantee of guarantees will look like, with all the members of the alliance, and with the United States very solidly,” Zilnsky said on the X.

‘Tapoting around Trump’

Russia has made no clear commitment to any meeting between Putin and Zelinski. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that Moscow did not reject any form to discuss peace in Ukraine, but any meeting of national leaders should be “fully prepared”.

Putin has said that Russia will not tolerate troops from the NATO alliance in Ukraine. After the summit with Trump last Friday in Alaska, after the summit with Trump, he has not shown any sign of withdrawal from the demands of the region, including the land under Russia’s military control.

Russia has been trying to overcome US pressure with long -term peace talks, said Neil Melon, director of international security at the Royal United Services Institute’s think tank at the Royal United Services Institute’s think tank.

“I think there is a struggle between Ukraine and Europeans and the Russians on the other hand, and on the other hand, do not present yourself to Trump as a hindrance to your peace process,” said Melvin.

“They are all revolving around Trump”, to avoid any allegations, adding that on security guarantees, “the problem is that what Trump has said is so ambiguous that it is very difficult to take it seriously.”
