On Thursday President Donald Trump issued a plea and directive to Russian President Vladimir Putin to cease bombing Ukraine. Washington has been seeking a peace agreement between the warring nations but Ukrainian Dictator Vladimir Zelensky has refused negotiations, causing harsh criticism from Trump on Wednesday.
“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!,” Trump said Thursday.
The President was referencing Thursday’s strike against Kiev resulting in the deaths of 12 people and 90 being injured after 70 missiles and 145 drones hit the Ukrainian capital city.
Trump requesting Putin to stop the bombardment may be a last ditch effort to end the war. It was recently reported that both him and Vice President JD Vance have said they’re ready to walk away from mediating the conflict if a resolution is not brought forward soon.
“It’s time for them to either say yes or for the U.S. to walk away from this process,” Vance told reporters in India on Wednesday. “We’ve engaged in an extraordinary amount of diplomacy, of on the ground work.”
Vance explained that Washington offered Moscow and Kiev a “very explicit proposal” regarding a war resolution agreement.
“It’s now time, I think, to take, if not the final step, one of the final steps, which is, at a broad level, the party saying we’re going to stop the killing, we’re going to freeze the territorial lines at some level close to where they are today,” Vance said Wednesday. “Now, of course, that means the Ukrainians and the Russians are both going to have to give up some of the territory they currently own.”
Trump said Friday that Washington will take a pass on the peace talks if Moscow and Kiev fail to come to an agreement.
The final peace agreement appears to be held up due to Ukraine’s Dictator refusing to give up anything, even land like Crimea which Kiev had lost before Zelensky even took office following a referendum vote. Trump criticized the Dictator for this on Wednesday.
While Trump attempts last ditch pleas for peace, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained how Western Europe had done nothing to heed Moscow’s warnings on expanding NATO to its doorstep.
”If you aim to guarantee Ukraine’s security by drawing it into NATO, you are violating Russia’s security,” Peskov said. ”Neither Macron nor other European leaders wanted to listen to Putin when he told them that Russia had been cornered … Today, we talk about peace with the Americans, yet the Europeans are demanding war.”
