Russian invasion Negotiations

Trump on peace agreement: “I have my own deadline”

US President Donald Trump believes that both Ukraine and Russia must come to the negotiating table. Both sides want peace, Trump claims at the White House meeting with the Prime Minister and Finance Minister of Norway.

Regarding when the peace negotiations need to be completed, Trump says:

– I have my own deadline.

Earlier in the day, Trump urged Vladimir Putin to stop the airstrikes on Ukraine. Now Trump says he believes the Russian leader will listen to this.

New alternative reality: “Russia has made a pretty big concession”

Russia has “made a pretty big concession” by stopping itself from conquering all of Ukraine, US President Donald Trump tells the press at the White House.

Russia has been attacking Ukraine for over three years without coming close to anything like that. Russia has paid a very high price in people, equipment and money. Large areas have been liberated by Ukraine and where Russia is now attacking, progress is very slow.

Trump further claims that the US is pressuring Russia hard for a peace agreement and that Russia knows about it.

The concessions that the US is demanding from Russia are minimal, according to the seven-point plan that has been leaked to several media outlets.
