Donald Trump has issued a stark warning regarding ongoing peace talks for the Ukraine conflict, stating that the U.S. could withdraw unless a solid agreement is reached. Speaking at the White House, he conveyed the urgency of the situation, mentioning a tragic daily toll of 2,500 young lives lost. Trump described negotiations as critical and emphasized the need for genuine commitment from both Ukraine and Russia to end the hostilities that have persisted for over a year.
Despite Ukraine’s earlier agreement to a month-long ceasefire, which Russia did not accept, the situation remains tense. Just yesterday, violence escalated again, with a missile strike in Kharkiv resulting in one death and over 100 injuries. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed Trump’s sentiments, stressing the need for rapid assessment of the negotiations, declaring they cannot drag on indefinitely.
With potential financial incentives and relaxation of sanctions on the table, Washington is pushing for a breakthrough ahead of planned talks in London next week. However, Trump remains firm: if negotiations don’t show promise, the U.S. might step back, asserting, “We want to see it end.” As diplomatic efforts continue, the world watches closely—hoping for peace while grappling with the harsh realities of war.
