Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelansky has said that Russia’s refusal to agree to the ceasefire is complicating efforts to end the war.
“We see that Russia refutes several calls for a ceasefire and has not yet determined that it will stop the murder. It complicates the situation,” he said in a statement on ‘X “.
On Monday, Ukrainian leaders visit Washington DC, where US President Donald Trump said that he would urge Zelansky to agree to a peace deal.
Trump has said that he wants to ignore a ceasefire in Ukraine to directly go to a permanent peace agreement after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a major innings of the situation, the US President said on the truth social after Friday’s summit that it would “be the best way to end the frightening war between Russia and Ukraine”, often “not catch”, adding the ceasefire.
After a phone call with Trump after the summit, Zelancesi called for a real, permanent peace, while saying “the fire should stop” and prevent murders.
In his subsequent statement on social media, Zelancesi underlined his requirements for “really durable and reliable peace” with Moscow, which “reliable security guarantee” and return of children say that “kidnapped from occupied areas” by Kremlin.
Trump’s comments indicated a dramatic change in their position about ending the war, only on Friday ahead of the summit that he wanted a ceasefire “fast”.
The main demand of Ukraine is a quick ceasefire before talking about a long -term disposal, and Trump allegedly told European leaders in advance that his goal for the summit was to achieve a ceasefire deal.
Meanwhile, Putin allegedly submitted a peace offer to Trump, which would require Ukraine to withdraw from the Donbas’s Donnetsk region, in turn to freeze the front lines in Russia’s Zaporizhia and Kharson.
Russia illegally attached Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, then began a full -scale invasion of the country after eight years. It claims Donbas as the Russian region and controls most Luhanskas and about 70% of Donnetsk.
The US President, who had earlier said that any peace deal would include “some swapping of the states”, it is said that he proposed to Zelancesi in the call after the summit.
A few days ago, the President of the Ukraine rejected Donbas’s control – the areas of Luhansk and Donnetsk – saying that it could be used as a springboard for future Russian attacks.
The BBC American partner CBS, citing diplomatic sources, stated that European diplomat was worried that Trump could try to pressurize Zelanceci on Monday to discuss the summit they and Putin discussed at the summit.
CBS quoted sources that Trump told European leaders in a call after the summit that Putin would give “some concessions”, but failed to specify what they were.
In an interview with Fox News after Friday’s summit, Trump was asked what he had advice for the Ukrainian leader, for which he responded by saying “a deal”.
“Russia is a great power and they are not,” he said.
Trump had earlier threatened “very serious consequences” if Putin did not agree to end the war, last month set a time limit for Moscow to reach a ceasefire or face tough new sanctions, including secondary tariffs.
Little was announced through an agreement by the President after Friday’s summit, but Trump insisted that progress was made.
On Saturday, Putin described the summit as “very useful” and said that he was able to “determine our situation” for Trump.
The Russian President said, “We had an opportunity to talk about the reasons for the reasons for this crisis. It is the elimination of these root causes which should be the basis of disposal.”
Later, a senior Russian diplomat told the BBC Nushore that the summit in Alaska was a very important construction block for further efforts to end the war “.
The United Nations’s first Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia, Dimitri Poolnski said that everyone who wants peace should be “satisfied with the result”. He will not say that Putin should now meet with Zelanceci.
Meanwhile, “interested in alliance” – a group of countries who promise to strengthen support for Ukraine including UK, France and Germany – will hold a call on Sunday afternoon before visiting Zelanski at the White House on Monday afternoon.
A group of European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Frederick Merz and European Commission Chairman Ursula von Der Leyen, said, “The next step should now be further conversations including President Zelanski”.
The leaders said they were “ready to work” towards a tripartite summit with European support.
“We are ready to maintain pressure on Russia,” he said, “This will be to decide on its territory until Ukraine. International borders should not be replaced by force.”
Britain’s Prime Minister Kir Stemper praised Trump’s efforts to end the war, stating that he had “brought us closer than ever”.
He said, “While progress has been made, the next step should be further conversations to include President Zelanceci. The path of peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without them,” he said.
And in Kiev, Ukrainian has described the feeling “crushed” by Alaska scenes.
A 50 -year -old veteran from the Eastern Donnetsk region said, “I think you shake hands for a conversation, when you come, you cannot just slap Putin on the face.
