Trump Claims Deal with Russia on Ukraine
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that negotiations on Ukraine in London were successful. He noted that an agreement with Russia had been reached and expressed his intention to secure a similar deal with Volodymyr Zelensky.
U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the recent negotiations in London regarding the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. According to him, the meeting was productive, and one of the key objectives—laying the foundation for ending hostilities—was partially achieved. The head of the White House emphasized that basic principles of a future settlement had been agreed upon with the Russian side. He described this as having "a deal with Russia."
During a briefing, Trump stated that the next task for the U.S. administration is to reach a similar agreement with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He noted that dealing with the Ukrainian leader has proven more complex than initially expected. According to Trump, Kyiv’s approach to the talks requires additional effort from the American delegation to reach mutual understanding.
"I think we have a deal with Russia. We need to get a deal with Zelensky," Trump said. The U.S. president did not reveal the details of the supposed agreement with Moscow, but emphasized that the core issue remains the cessation of hostilities and the establishment of security guarantees acceptable to both parties.
Commenting further, Trump underscored the importance of finding a compromise. In his view, prolonging the conflict poses risks not only for Ukraine but also for global stability, including European security and the global economy. He added that the U.S. is interested in ending the conflict as soon as possible and is prepared to continue negotiations with both sides.
The president also stated that Washington expects greater flexibility from Kyiv and readiness to accept new terms based on the proposed settlement framework. His administration is considering various options, including potential concessions on borders, Ukraine’s neutrality, and restrictions on its future military cooperation with specific international entities.
The London talks, according to the American side, were a continuation of earlier consultations covering not only military but also economic aspects of a future settlement. The Trump administration aims to expedite the conclusion of a final agreement, emphasizing that prolonging the conflict in its current form is unacceptable.
Despite the declared success of talks with Russia, the situation remains tense. The Ukrainian side has not officially commented on the U.S. president’s statements or confirmed agreement to the terms discussed. This suggests that the path to a final settlement remains open but requires further diplomatic effort.
Trump also emphasized that his administration is working on a platform that would not only bring about a ceasefire but also establish long-term mechanisms for control and prevention of escalation. These measures, in Trump’s view, should ensure regional stability and minimize external interference.
Trump’s statements come amid reports that some European countries are reducing their participation in the negotiation process. According to available information, several diplomats declined to attend the London meeting, citing disagreements over key issues including the recognition of Crimea and the status of territories in eastern Ukraine.
Nevertheless, the U.S. side insists on continuing the talks and is determined to bring the process to a logical conclusion. Additional meetings aimed at reaching consensus between the parties are expected in the near future.
