Trump predicts 'big weeks' in the Russian-Ukraine peace talks, Zelenskyy sees a 'positive sign'

London – President Donald Trump suggested that the progress that would soon occur in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in a post to social truth on Sunday morning, saying he would “continue to work with both parties” to end Moscow’s 3 -year invasion of his neighbors.

“The potential that has the potential to be fun for Russia and Ukraine!,” Trump wrote. “Think about hundreds of thousands of lives that will be saved because of the ‘bloodshed’ that never ends, hopefully it will end. This will be a totally new world, and much better.”

“I will continue to work with both parties to ensure that happens.” Trump continued. “Conversely, the US wants to focus on rebuilding and trade. A big week will come!”

Trump’s efforts to have failed to produce peace-or even a lasting ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, with fierce battles and long-distance strikes continue since returning to the Oval office in January.

The President has expressed frustration with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin for the failure of the US peaceful efforts led by the US.

Trump’s latest statement came after Putin announced a unilateral three-day ceasefire covering the celebration of the day of Russia’s victory, marked the commemoration of the defeat of the Soviet Union from Germany Nazi in 1945. Putin’s ceasefire ended on Saturday.

Zelenskyy instead offered a ceasefire 30 days full. On Sunday, after talks with British, France, German and Poland leaders in Kyiv, Zelenskyy said in a telegram post that he and his leader colleagues agreed that “complete and unconditional ceasefire” will begin on May 12.

Putin has not approved the Zelenskyy proposal, although in Sunday a statement offers direct talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul on Thursday.

“Russia is ready for negotiations without prerequisites,” Putin said in a statement. “There is a battle that is happening now, war, and we propose to continue the negotiations that are disturbed not by us. What is wrong with that? Those who really want peace cannot fail to support this.”

In response, Zelenskyy said in a post for telegram that Putin’s offer was “a positive sign.”

“The first step at the end of any war is a ceasefire,” added the President of Ukraine. “There is no point in continuing the murder even for a day. We hope that Russia confirms the ceasefire – complete, durable and reliable – starting tomorrow, May 12, and Ukraine is ready to meet.”
