Trump calls on Putin: Stop the attacks on Ukraine now!
Vienna, Österreich - President Donald Trump recently expressed hope of an upcoming agreement in the Ukraine conflict. According to his statements, he believes that Vladimir Putin is willing to post the attacks on Ukraine if Ukraine does without the areas annexed by Russia. Trump asked Putin to stop the offensive measures against Kiev immediately and emphasized the need for an agreement with the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, who, however, is perceived as more challenged than hoped. This is strongly contradictory of the frustrations of high-ranking US government agents on the slow course of the negotiations, as reported.
Trump also mentioned that he had his own deadline for the end of the conflict, but left open when it should be achieved in his view. In his election campaign, he promised to end the war on the first day of his term. According to the Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow, Russia is ready to negotiate a ceasefire if there is a corresponding concession on the part of Ukraine. Peskow led the four regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Saporischschja and Cherson.
The conflict and diplomatic hurdles
The Ukraine conflict, which has been going on since 2014, escalated with nuclear weapons in September 2022 with partial mobilization and threats. Putin had announced the annexation of the Ukrainian areas of Luhansk, Donetsk, Saporischschja and Cherson, which Selenskyj has vehemently rejected in his tenure since 2019. Despite repeated demands for a summit with Putin, Selenskyj failed in October 2022 to continue direct discussions, as swp-berlin.org. However, these diplomatic efforts are burdened by numerous obstacles, in particular by the status of the Crimea, which was annexed Russia in 2014. Trump also criticized Selenskyj for his refusal to recognize the Russian claim to the Crimea, which further complicated the negotiations. Ukraine remains determined to regain control of its entire territory, including the Crimea.
escalation and international reactions
Sergej Schoigu, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, made it clear that Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons if it is aggressively attacked by western countries. Such threats are increasing internationally that the conflict could drift into even more dangerous dimensions. The hopes for a diplomatic solution could only grow again if Russia is no longer able to enforce its goals.
International diplomacy plays a crucial role in this conflict, in particular the efforts to be a peaceful solution and the discussion about a possible ceasefire. Ukraine has gained importance through military successes and international support. The support of western states for Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions against Russia have been unbroken, while the willingness to negotiate on both sides is strongly influenced by the military situation.
