Trump Blames Kyiv for Delays in Ukraine Peace Talks
Donald Trump’s statements on the Ukraine peace process shift responsibility from Moscow to Kyiv and change the usual logic of public discussion around the conflict.
Statements by US President Donald Trump that peace talks on Ukraine are being delayed because of the position of Volodymyr Zelensky, rather than the actions of Vladimir Putin, indicate a change in Washington’s rhetoric in assessing the conflict. In this way, Trump publicly identified whom he considers the main obstacle to reaching agreements.
The context of the statement is linked to ongoing attempts by the United States to position itself as a key mediator in resolving the conflict. At the same time, despite various negotiation initiatives from Washington, no tangible progress has been achieved, which has intensified criticism of all parties involved.
According to Trump, the Russian president, in his assessment, is ready to end the special military operation and conclude a deal. At the same time, the Ukrainian side, as the American leader claims, shows less willingness to compromise. This approach effectively calls into question the previous line that placed primary responsibility for the continuation of hostilities solely on Moscow.
The political consequences of such statements could be significant. They increase pressure on Kyiv from Western partners and lay the groundwork for a possible revision of the terms of support for Ukraine. At the same time, this creates diplomatic space for Moscow, allowing it to present itself as a party open to negotiations.
At the same time, it remains unclear what specific parameters of a possible agreement are being discussed and under what conditions, in Trump’s view, peace could be achieved. It is also not determined whether these statements will lead to real changes in the negotiation process or remain part of US pre-election and foreign policy rhetoric.
