A time beam of Trump policy on Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations
President Donald Trump has a strong personal interest in ending the war between Ukraine and Russia. He recently explained that “nothing” would happen until he had an official meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump's changeable attitude to the negotiations
The views of Trump and his administration on the negotiations have developed over time. Foreign Minister Marco Rubio warned about a month ago that the United States could move away from the mediation efforts between the warfare nations if no progress could be made within “days”. It currently looks like Trump's urge to a personal meeting with Putin and implies that he is the only one who can end conflict after the peace talks have stalled for months.
Trump: Criticism of Zelensky and Putin
Trump has recently stranged between violent criticism of the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj and charges against Putin. After an extremely controversial meeting in the Oval Office in February, Trump said that Selenskyj had “no cards in hand”. At the same time, he vigorously asked Putin to "stop" the attacks and indicated that the Russian guide would "hold" him.
Growing impatience with Putin
Trump's patience with Putin has recently seemed to disappear, especially since the Russian president had the opportunity to meet directly in Turkey with Selenskyj - a personal meeting that Putin had proposed. The Ukrainian and the Russian delegation agreed on an exchange of prisoners in Istanbul on Friday, but a comprehensive peace treaty that Trump once wanted to achieve on the first day of his second term remains unreachable.
What leads us to this point?
The current diplomatic situation around the Ukraine conflict is complicated and requires an in-depth analysis of the last developments. In the coming weeks it will be important whether Trump can actually implement his planned talks with Putin and whether this results in progress for peace.
