The United States has held “productive” conversations with Putin because of the war in Ukraine, Trump says

US President Donald Trump praised conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin A US -defined transaction to terminate the fire in Ukraine as “good and productive”.

This comes after Putin and US Messenger Steve Witcof met in Moscow on Thursday night, during which they exchanged information and shared the “cautious optimism” of the United States during the peace process, the Kremlin confirmed.

Trump’s social post on Friday said the negotiations gave “a very good chance that this terrible, bloody war can finally end.”

However, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski maintains that Putin’s response has shown so far that Russia wants to continue the war and does not want to end the fire.

On Thursday, Putin said that the idea of ​​ending fire was “right and we support it … But there are nuances” and he defined a number of difficult conditions for peace, answer, the “manipulative” brand by Zelenski.

He continued his criticism on Friday in a series of posts of X, writes: “Putin could not come out of this war because it would have left him with nothing.

“That is why he now does his best to sabotage diplomacy, putting extremely difficult and unacceptable conditions from the very beginning before the fire is terminated.”

He said Putin would “drag” everyone in “endless discussions … He loses days, weeks and months of meaningless conversations as his weapons continue to kill people.”

“Every state Putin puts out is just an attempt to block any diplomacy. This is how Russia works. And we warned about it.”

Earlier this week, Ukraine accepted the US fire termination deal with which Russia is yet to agree.

“I strongly urge anyone who can influence Russia, especially the United States, take strong steps that can help,” Zelenski continued in his social media publications on Friday, adding that Putin would not stop the war alone.

“Putin is lying about the real situation on the battlefield … the victims” and “the true state of his economy,” he said, explaining that Putin “is doing everything possible to ensure that diplomacy fails.”

But The White House believes that the two sides are “they were never so close to peace.”

Talking to reporters, White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt claims that talks between Putin and Vitcof in Moscow are “productive” on Thursday.

She added that Trump “puts pressure on Putin and the Russians to do the right thing.”

The post of Trump’s social media also “strongly demanded” Putin must spare the life of Ukrainian troops, which he described as surrounded by Russian forces, adding that it would be a “terrible slaughter” that is not visible since World War II.

His comments came after Putin said on Thursday that Ukrainian troops in Kursk had been “isolated” and were trying to leave, as Russia was intensifying efforts to restore the region invaded from Ukraine last year.

But on Friday, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the surroundings of her troops, calling it “false and made.”

She said that operations continue, with Ukrainian troops withdrew and “successfully regrouping” to better defense positions.

“There is no threat of environment of our units,” the message said.

In response to Trump’s request, Putin said that the Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk would be treated with “dignity in accordance with the rules of international law and the laws of the Russian Federation” if they abandoned weapons and surrendered.

Meanwhile, G7 members meet in Quebec, where the host of Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie said all members agreed with the US proposal to end the fire, which is supported by Ukrainians.

“And now we study and consider Russian reactions, so in the end the ball is now in the court of Russia when it comes to Ukraine.”

The United Kingdom Foreign Secretary, David Lamy, who was also at the meeting, said the members were united in the summoning for the termination of fire with “no conditions”.

Following the meeting, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States would not make foreign policy decisions based on the social media leaders or a press conference and stressed that “the only way to end this war is through a negotiating process.”
