U.S. signals end to mediation in Russia-Ukraine talks
Is the Trump administration losing patience with the ongoing negotiations between Russia and Ukraine? This seems apparent from the words of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. The politician announced the end of American mediation if Washington's proposals do not receive a positive response.
Donald Trump promised that he would quickly end the war between Russia and Ukraine. So far, he has not led to negotiations at the presidential level. It is already known that the summit of foreign ministers on peace talks in Ukraine will not take place. It has been postponed indefinitely.
The delay in negotiations results from Russia's stance, which imposes conditions impossible for Ukraine to meet. The prolonged talks are frustrating the U.S. government. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance even announced that the U.S. might withdraw from its mediation role between Ukraine and Russia.
We will withdraw from mediating between Russia and Ukraine if we do not receive a positive response, said Vance during his visit to India.
The U.S. Vice President believes that the United States has put forward fair proposals for resolving the conflict.
We have presented a clear and fair proposal to both the Russians and Ukrainians, added J.D. Vance.
This statement highlights that the prolonged negotiations are starting to test the patience of Donald Trump's administration, which wants to quickly end the conflict.
The peace talks are further complicated by ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets. In the morning shelling of Marhanets, nine people were killed and 30 were injured. The tragedy was caused by the impact of a Russian combat drone.
