The next steps are not clear with Trump’s pushing to end the Ukraine war

On Thursday’s attack was the first Russian drone and a Russian company combined on Kyiv since the president Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska Earlier this month to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.

While it seemed that the diplomat for peace was gaining momentum shortly after that meeting, a few details have appeared about the following steps.

Western leaders, along with Zelinski, accused Putin of withdrawing his feet in peace efforts and avoiding serious negotiations while Russian forces move to Ukraine. This week, Ukrainian military leaders admitted that Russian forces had stormed an eighth region of Ukraine seeking to seize more land.

Zelinski hopes that the US sanctions will be the most cruel in paralyzing the Russian economy if Putin has no seriousness about ending the war – it requires repeated after Thursday’s attack.

“All the final dates have already been broken, and dozens of opportunities were destroyed,” Zellinski said.

This week, Mr. Trump rose to Putin’s suspension of an American proposal for direct peace talks with Zelinski. On Friday, he said that he expected to decide the next steps within two weeks if a date for direct conversations – which has ruled Moscow so far. The previous day, Mr. Trump hinted that he could change the policy of the United States Ukraine’s use of weapons preceded by America to hit Russia.

In a post on his social media platform, Mr. Trump said, “It is very difficult, if not impossible, to win the war without attacking the country of the invaders … there is no chance to win! It is like Ukraine and Russia.”

He said that his predecessor, Joe Biden, “will not allow Ukraine to respond only,” adding, without any other explanation, that there are interesting times !!! ”

In November, a few weeks before the presidency was delivered to Mr. Trump, Biden It changed the long policy This has effectively prevented Ukraine from using the United States’ missiles to beat in Russia. While no advertisement has been announced, Wall Street Journal mentioned During the weekend in which the Pentagon was “for several months, Ukraine’s use of long -range missiles in Russia.”

The Russian Ministry of Defense said on Thursday that it had shot down 102 Ukrainian drones overnight, and at the same time, most of them in the southwest of the country. Local officials said the drone attack sparked a fire in the AFIPSKY Oil refinery in the Krasnodar area.

Ukrainian drones have repeatedly struck the descriptions and other oil infrastructure in recent weeks in an attempt to weaken the war economy in Russia, causing gas stations drying in some Russian regions and prices to rise.
