Chinese leader Xi Jinping may push Russian President Vladimir Putin towards peace, as Russia's economy heavily depends on China, states Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Bloomberg.
Donald Trump pledged to end the conflict in Ukraine, but the war has proved harder to solve than he once thought. Now, he says he'll sanction Russia.
As president-elect, Donald Trump said on more than one occasion that he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office. More than a day into his presidency, the war rages on. But “ending wars” does still appear to be a top priority for the new administration.
President Donald Trump, just hours after his inauguration, announced his intention to end the war in Ukraine by engaging in direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump emphasized the need to speak with Putin to gauge his willingness for peace, noting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is prepared for a peace agreement.
The document proposes extending martial law in Ukraine starting at 5.30 a.m. (0330GMT) on Feb. 8, 2025 for another 90 days. Similarly, it suggests extending the period of general mobilization, also by 90 days, beginning on the same date.
I think he should make a deal,” U.S. president says about the Kremlin chief. The war “is not making him look good.”
In his first public comments following President Donald Trump's inauguration, Russian President Vladimir Putin indicated on Monday that he sees a second Trump presidency as an opportunity for a new era in U.S.-Russian relations.
US President Donald Trump also said that Ukraine's President Zelensky told him that he would like to have peace. Trump intensified attempts to bring his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to the negotiation table to end the ongoing war.
Trump said that China holds great power in resolving the current situation and expressed willingness to work together to end the war in Ukraine. He also said Ukraine was ready for a deal.
Russia has already spoiled the president’s promise of ending the war in Ukraine on day one. Now, it’s not impressed by his threats.
