According to Trump, negotiations with the Russian Federation and Ukraine continue, and the United States, ideally, suggests a 30-day “unconditional ceasefire.”
“I hope that both parties will comply with the agreements, responsible for maintaining the honesty of these negotiations. In case of violation of the Ukrainian truce and their partners will impose new sanctions,” he threatened.
The head of the White House emphasized that thousands of young military people die weekly, “and everyone should strive to stop it.”
“As the president, I will remain a devoted business of peace between Russia and Ukraine together with European partners, and this will be a long world. This truce should become a step towards peaceful agreement. Everything can be solved quickly, and I am ready to help at any time,” he said.
