Trump urges Ukraine to accept peace talks with Putin 'immediately'
Share this @internewscast.com

On Sunday, President Trump called for Ukraine to “immediately” engage in peace negotiations with Russia, aligning with Vladimir Putin’s recent proposal, even before securing a cease-fire agreement.

The Russian leader has suggested direct discussions with Kyiv, to take place in Turkey on Thursday, in an effort to resolve the war in Ukraine, which has persisted for over three years following Russia’s invasion.

Trump shared on Truth Social, “Ukraine should agree to this, IMMEDIATELY. This way, they can ascertain if a deal is feasible, and if not, European leaders and the U.S. will have clarity on the situation and can act accordingly!”

“I’m starting to doubt that Ukraine will make a deal with Putin, who’s too busy celebrating the Victory of World War ll, which could not have been won (not even close!) without the United States of America. HAVE THE MEETING, NOW!!!.” the president added.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded online that he is open to holding the powow with Moscow, but he showed trepidation given Putin’s repeated refusal to make any concessions in the stalled peace talks brokered by the US.

Zelensky and his officials stressed that a cease-fire needs to be reached first and foremost before any talks could commence between Kyiv and Moscow.

“We await a full and lasting ceasefire, starting from tomorrow, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy. There is no point in prolonging the killings,” Zelensky wrote in the statement.

“And I will be waiting for Putin in Turkey on Thursday. Personally. I hope that this time the Russians will not look for excuses,” he said.

Ukraine’s position was backed by Zelensky’s western allies, including Trump’s own special envoy to Kyiv, Keith Kellogg.

“An unconditional ceasefire first and, during it, move into comprehensive peace discussions. Not the other way round,” Kellogg wrote on X after Putin’s proposal.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Putin’s sudden push for peace talks without a cease-fire was proof that he was stalling and “looking for a way out” after sanction threats from the West.

Putin issued his proposal a day after Trump and European leaders threatened “massive sanctions” if Russia didn’t agree to a 30-day truce by Monday.

Zelensky said the cease-fire must be “full and unconditional” or else the European allies would slap additional energy and banking sanctions on Moscow.
