Trump-Vice threatens: USA could escape from peace negotiations!

Riad, Saudi-Arabien - The geopolitical tensions in the Ukraine conflict further tighten. US Vice President JD Vance has threatened to withdraw from the United States from the negotiations on ceasefire if there is no agreement between the parties to the conflict. According to Oe24 , it was time to agree that both the Ukrainians and the United States withdraw. Washington has made a clear proposal to both sides, which includes freezing the territorial limits at the current level. Vance said that this meant that both sides should be ready to give up parts of their area.

In the context of these developments, an unexpected signal came from the Russian side: According to the Zeit , Wladimir Putin offered a break from the front and would be ready to be occupied to parts waive. Nevertheless, Russian officials, including Juri Uschakow, foreign policy consultant Putin, rejected a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire. Uschakow described this as a mere "temporary breathing space" for the Ukrainian military and not as a step towards permanent peace.

summary of the conflict situation

The Ukrainian War, which has been underway since February 2022, has taken a large number of twists, with counter -offensive Kiev and constant attacks from Russia. The current negotiations only offer limited progress, especially since Russian demands go beyond the offer of the United States and raise profound political questions about the future neutrality of Ukraine.

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop, especially in view of the threats from Washington. Trump and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio have already threatened with new sanctions if Putin does not agree with the ceasefire.
