President Donald Trump of the United States has put more pressure on Ukraine to agree to a deal that would stop Russia’s war, saying that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has the option to do so “almost immediately.”
Trump cautioned that any negotiated deal will not include the restoration of Russian-occupied Crimea or Ukrainian membership in NATO in an address to Zelenskyy the day before his crucial visit to the White House on Monday.
Trump stated on his Truth Social platform on Sunday that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has the option to either continue fighting or, if he so chooses, terminate the war with Russia almost immediately.
Recall the beginning. No returning Obama’s Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot fired!), and no Ukraine joining NATO. Trump’s remarks were made as European leaders prepared to join Zelenskyy on his Monday visit to Washington, DC, amid worries in Kyiv and Brussels that the US president may approve a deal that would be unduly advantageous to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Zelenskyy claimed that prior concessions to Moscow, especially in Crimea, had simply given Putin more confidence to wage war, in a statement made soon after Trump’s remarks on Sunday. We all want this war to end as soon as possible and with certainty. In a post on X, Zelenskyy stated that peace must endure.
